Bill > HB4682

This bill amends the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which is a law that grants the public the right to access government records. Specifically, it adds a provision that states repeated requests for records made for commercial purposes will be considered "unduly burdensome," meaning they can be refused. This applies when the same person makes multiple requests that are similar or ask for updated versions of records they've already received or been denied. The purpose of this change is to prevent individuals or entities from repeatedly asking for the same or similar commercial information, which can strain government resources.
