public records; notification; commercial purpose

SB 1372 amends Arizona's public records law to require requesters to declare whether they seek records for a commercial purpose. If a request is for commercial use, the requester must comply with additional requirements outlined in the law. Public offices must provide an index of withheld records with reasons for denial, while maintaining free access for non-commercial requests. This bill directly affects businesses, researchers, and journalists seeking public records, clarifying access rules without changing fees for non-commercial users.
