Management Council approves update to LSO Public Records Act fee policy

Management Council · November 20, 2025

Summary

The council unanimously approved an update to Management Council policy 0602 raising the Public Records Act charge threshold from $1 to $50 and replacing 'man hours' with 'staff time.'

The Management Council approved changes to Management Council policy 0602, which governs the Legislative Service Office's response to Public Records Act requests. Director staff explained the revision raises the fee threshold for charging from $1 to $50 and substitutes the term "staff time" for "man hours."

Council members took a voice vote after brief discussion and the chair announced the change passed unanimously. The director said LSO rarely charges for records requests and the amendment mainly updates language and administrative practice.

The policy passed by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The council instructed staff to implement the revised language and proceed as directed.
