Vermont S0114 allows public agencies to charge for staff time and equipment use under the Public Records Act.

Vermont S0114 modifies the Public Records Act to allow public agencies to charge for staff time and equipment use when complying with record requests. Agencies can charge for staff time if the request exceeds 30 minutes, if the agency agrees to provide a nonstandard format, or if the agency agrees to create a public record. Agencies can also charge for equipment use, including photocopying and electronic media costs. The Secretary of State establishes a uniform schedule of charges for state agencies, while local legislative bodies set charges for political subdivisions.
