Relates to the maximum allowable timeframes to respond to requests for records under the freedom of information act

This bill updates the Freedom of Information Act to establish specific deadlines for government agencies to respond to public records requests. It requires agencies to provide records within 5 business days, deny requests in writing, or acknowledge receipt with an estimated completion date. The law sets progressively shorter response timeframes starting in 2029, ranging from 180 days to 60 days depending on when the request is made, with exceptions for cases involving federal law conflicts, safety concerns, or extremely large volumes of records. Additionally, the bill mandates that agencies accept and respond to requests via electronic mail when possible and requires all state agencies with websites to allow online submission of records requests.
