An Act relating to public records; relating to managing and preserving audio and video recordings; and relating to fees for the inspection and copying of public records under the Alaska Public Records Act.

This bill updates Alaska's public records laws to clarify what counts as a public record and how municipalities can charge for handling record requests. It expands the definition of public records to include audio and video recordings while excluding library materials and proprietary software. The bill also allows municipalities to charge requesters for the actual personnel costs of searching for and copying records, requiring payment before the search begins. These changes aim to modernize how public agencies manage digital and multimedia records while ensuring transparency in record access fees.
