Inspection of Public Records; documents and records in the possession of private persons or entities; revise provisions

The definition of 'custodian' was slightly refined to specify 'such agency's records' instead of 'agency records', clarifying the scope of the role.

A new provision was added stating that a custodian has no obligation to retrieve public records held by another agency or any other public entity.

The requirement for private entities to produce records was updated to specify that this applies only if the request is made within the statutory retention period or an agreed-upon timeframe.

Added a new definition for 'Custodian' or 'lawful custodian' to clarify that it includes the agency or a designated employee responsible for records.

Added new requirements stating that all requests for public records must be made to the custodian, and private persons or entities holding records must produce them to the custodian upon request.

Reorganized the bill's structure by moving content from Section 2 to Section 1 and adding new Section 2, while updating the bill number from LC 47 3168 to LC 49 2218S.
