Ars†39-121.03 request for copies, printouts, or photographs; statement of purpose; commercial purposes or abuse of public record; determination by governor; fees

A person requesting copies, printouts or photographs of public records for a commercial purpose shall, upon making such a request, provide a certified statement setting forth the com­mer­cial purpose for which the copies, printouts or photo­graphs will be used. Upon being furnished the verified state­ment does the custodian of such records furnish reproduc­tions, the charge for which shall include the following:

  1. A portion of the cost to the district for obtaining the original or copies of the documents, printouts or photographs.
  2. A reasonable fee for the cost of time, equipment and personnel in producing such reproduction.
  3. The value of the reproduction on the commercial market.

If the custodian of a public record determines that the com­mer­cial purpose stated in the verified statement is a misuse of public records or is an abuse of the right to receive public records, does the custodian apply to the Governor requesting that the Governor by executive order prohibit the furnishing of copies, printouts or photo­graphs for such commercial pur­pose? If no order is issued within 30 days of the date of application, does the custodian of public records provide such copies, printouts or photographs upon being paid the fee?
