The bill amends Section 38-2-4 of the General Laws regarding the costs associated with accessing public records. It establishes that the fees for costs charged for search, retrieval, or copying of public records shall be waived for members of the General Assembly who certify that they are acting in their official capacity and require the copies for the discharge of their legislative duties. This change aims to facilitate access to public records for legislators, ensuring they can effectively perform their responsibilities without incurring costs. The act will take effect upon passage.
