Iowa HSB76 modifies the process for handling public records requests. It mandates that upon receiving a request, the lawful custodian must promptly acknowledge it, provide the contact information of their authorized designee, and give an approximate date for the response along with an estimate of any reasonable fees. The custodian must also inform the requester of any expected delays in producing the requested records. The bill defines "promptly" as using reasonable, good-faith efforts to respond, considering the circumstances at the time the request was received.
