Londonderry Town Councilor<\/a> and State Representative Ron Dunn<\/a>, along with State Senator Sharon Carson<\/a>, are sponsoring a bill to restrict access to 91A requests. HB 1002<\/a> could impose a fee of $25 per hour for any 91A request that officials estimate would exceed 10 hours to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amendment to HB 1002 by replacing section 2 with the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 \u00a0New Paragraph; Fees for Records. \u00a0Amend RSA 91-A:4<\/a> by inserting after paragraph VII the following new paragraph:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIII. \u00a0A reasonable charge may be made for employee, contractor, or attorney time in excess of 10 hours to make the record available<\/strong> to the requestor, including time to search, retrieve, duplicate, redact, and otherwise make the record available for the requestor; provided that no charge may be made for time spent with the requestor to review the records. \u00a0Hourly costs shall not exceed $25 per hour, and no costs shall be charged for requests under 10 hours.<\/strong> \u00a0Prior to charging any fees, the public body or agency shall create a policy so that practices are transparent, uniform, and consistent. \u00a0Multiple requests from any person or entity to the same public body within a 30 day time period shall be considered one request.<\/strong> \u00a0If a party believes the estimated number of hours or cost to make the records available is unreasonable, the party may file a complaint with the ombudsman pursuant to RSA 91-A:7-b<\/a> for a determination of whether the estimate is reasonable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
