AB51

Nevada AB51 revises public records provisions, allowing fees for personnel and technology use, requiring written requests, and setting response.

Nevada AB51 amends the Public Records Act to allow governmental entities to charge reasonable fees for personnel and technological resources used in fulfilling public record requests. It mandates that requests to inspect, copy, or receive public records must be in writing and identify the requester. The bill also requires governmental entities to respond to requests within five business days, providing either the record or an explanation if unavailable. If a record is not confidential, entities must allow inspection or provide a copy. The act becomes effective upon passage and approval.
