Sunshine Laws Training -- Part 2 Making and Responding to Public Records Requests (SLT-02)
Part 2 looks at what makes a request a proper and enforceable request, as well as the obligations of a public office when responding to a request, including whether and when an office can charge a requester for responding, when an office should respond to a request, and what an office must do if it believes a request is overly broad or ambiguous.

While anyone can make a public records request for any reason, there are some parameters to a proper and enforceable request. The law also imposes obligations on a public office when it responds to a request, which vary depending on what the request asks for and whether and why an office denies a request.
