HB 2383 Freedom of Information Act; court review in cases of requester harassment.
Introduced by: Lynwood W. Lewis, Jr. | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); court review in cases of requester harassment. Allows any public body to petition an appropriate court for a summary determination whether a requester, in making a request for records, is intending to harass or otherwise abuse the rights or privileges granted by FOIA or whether such request is overly burdensome on the public body.
This should be heard on Thursday at 5:00 in the
FOIA subcommittee of the General Laws committee.
I'll get there early to see two legislators about other bills but will definitely be at the committee hearing.
