AN ACT CONCERNING THE COSTS TO OBTAIN TRANSCRIPTS FOR PROCEEDINGS CONDUCTED BEFORE AGENCIES.

HB 7220 limits the fees state agencies can charge for providing transcripts of agency proceedings, such as hearings or meetings. It directly affects individuals and organizations requesting these transcripts by capping fees at a maximum of $0.50 per page and requiring agencies to post clear fee schedules online. The bill’s key mechanism sets this per-page fee cap and mandates transparent, publicly accessible fee information to reduce financial barriers. This change takes effect immediately upon the governor’s signature on June 24, 2025.
