Prohibits open public records requests for commercial purposes.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits open public records requests made for commercial purposes. It defines "commercial purpose" as the use of any part of a government record for sale, resale, solicitation, rent or lease of a service, or any use by which the user expects a profit. The bill also imposes civil penalties on requestors who intentionally fail to certify that a records request is not for commercial purposes, and on public officials who unreasonably deny access to public records. The bill aims to limit the use of public records for commercial gain while preserving access for news media, journalistic, educational, scientific, scholarly, and governmental organizations.
