Nebraska LB579 prohibits fees for public records requests by members of the Legislature.
Nebraska LB579 amends the Reissue Revised Statutes to prohibit charging fees for public records requests made by members of the Legislature. It mandates that such requests must be fulfilled within four business days, with an estimate of costs provided if the request exceeds this timeframe. The bill also allows for the waiver or reduction of fees if it is in the public interest. It repeals previous sections and harmonizes provisions to ensure transparency and accessibility of public records.
