HB0903

Amends open records law to allow fees for record requests requiring more than one hour of employee time.

Amends Tennessee's open records law by allowing a records custodian to charge a fee for record requests that reasonably require more than one hour of an employee's time to collect. The first hour of employee time is exempt from fees. After the first hour, fees may be charged at an hourly rate proportional to the employee's pay rate. This change takes effect upon becoming law, as required by public welfare.
