Bill Summary

AN ACT RELATING TO PUBLIC RECORDS; ALLOWING A CUSTODIAN OF PUBLIC RECORDS TO CHARGE A REASONABLE FEE FOR ELECTRONIC DOCUMENTS.

AI Summary

This bill amends the New Mexico Inspection of Public Records Act (IPRA) to allow custodians of public records to charge a reasonable fee for providing electronic documents. Specifically, it limits the fee for printed documents to 10 cents per page and caps the fee for downloading documents to a computer at $10. The bill also clarifies that "actual cost" does not include labor or overhead costs. The changes in this bill are intended to provide guidance on the fees that can be charged for electronic public records under IPRA.
