House Bill 100 seeks to enhance public record laws for public agencies that are not local governments by establishing clear requirements and deadlines for handling public information requests. Key provisions include the designation of a contact person for such requests, which must be posted on the agency's website, and the creation of a structured public information request process. Agencies are also required to maintain and publish statistics on requests, as well as retain all requests and responses for a two-year period. If a requester fails to respond to a clarification request within 30 days, the agency may close the request after notifying the requester.
The bill also revises the fee structure associated with public information requests, mandating that the first hour of service be provided free of charge and imposing limits on subsequent hourly fees. It allows individuals to file complaints in district court if agencies do not meet the established response deadlines. The effective date for most provisions is set for October 1, 2025, with certain sections taking effect on July 1, 2026, and a termination date for one section on June 30, 2026. Overall, the bill aims to improve transparency and accessibility in public agency operations while ensuring consistent standards across state government agencies.
