The bill allows a custodian of public records under the Colorado Open Records Act to impose a fee in response to a request for the research and retrieval of such records only if the custodian has, prior to the date of receiving the request, either posted on the custodian's web site or otherwise published a written policy that specifies the applicable conditions concerning the research and retrieval of public records by the custodian. Any fee the custodian charges the requestor for the research and retrieval of public records must be nominal in comparison to the time the custodian spends responding to the volume of requests. The bill prohibits the custodian under any circumstances from charging an hourly fee for the research and retrieval of public records that exceeds three times the state minimum wage.
