Bill Summary
An Act amending the act of February 14, 2008 (P.L.6, No.3), known as the Right-to-Know Law, in preliminary provisions, further providing for definitions; in procedure, further providing for written requests; and, in judicial review, further providing for fee limitations.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Right-to-Know Law in Pennsylvania by (1) adding a definition of "commercial purpose" to exclude certain uses such as scholarly research and news gathering, (2) requiring requesters to certify if a request is for a commercial purpose, and (3) allowing agencies to charge additional fees for responding to commercial requests, with some exceptions. It also allows agencies and requesters to enter into alternative fee arrangements and provides for appeals of fees charged under the new provisions.
