9
10 a. is solely for commercial purpose, or

12
13 then the public body may charge a reasonable fee to recover the
13
14 direct cost of record search and copying; however, publication in a

19 making the copy. The fee charged by the Department of Public Safety
19
20 for a copy in a computerized format of a record of the Department
20
21 shall not exceed the direct cost of making the copy unless the fee
21
22 for the record is otherwise set by law. A public body may require
22
23 advance payment of the estimated fees authorized under this section
23
24 when the estimated cost exceeds Seventy-five Dollars ($75.00) or if
24
Req. No. 2505 Page 7
1 the requestor has outstanding fees from previous requests. Any
1
2 portion of an advance payment that exceeds the costs of responding
2
3 to the request shall be returned to the requestor.
3
4 Any public body establishing fees under the Oklahoma Open
4
5 Records Act shall post a written schedule of the fees at its
5
6 principal office and with the county clerk.
6
7 In no case shall a search fee be charged when the release of
7
8 records is in the public interest, including, but not limited to,
8
9 release to the news media, scholars, authors and taxpayers seeking
9
10 to determine whether those entrusted with the affairs of the
10
11 government are honestly, faithfully, and competently performing
11
12 their duties as public servants.
12
13 The fees shall not be used for the purpose of discouraging
13
14 requests for information or as obstacles to disclosure of requested
14
15 information;
15
16 5. The land description tract index of all recorded instruments
16
17 concerning real property required to be kept by the county clerk of
17
18 any county shall be available for inspection or copying in
18
19 accordance with the provisions of the Oklahoma Open Records Act;
19
20 provided, however, the index shall not be copied or mechanically
20
21 reproduced for the purpose of sale of the information;
21
22 6. A public body must provide prompt, reasonable access to its
22
23 records but may establish reasonable procedures which protect the
23
24 integrity and organization of its records and to prevent excessive
24
Req. No. 2505 Page 8
1 disruptions of its essential functions. A delay in providing access
1
2 to records shall be limited solely to the time required for
2
3 preparing the requested documents and the avoidance of excessive
3
4 disruptions of the public body's essential functions. In no event
4
5 may production of a current request for records be unreasonably
5
6 delayed until after completion of a prior records request that will
6
7 take substantially longer than the current request. Any public body
7
8 which makes the requested records available on the Internet shall
8
9 meet the obligation of providing prompt, reasonable access to its
9
10 records as required by this paragraph;
10
11 7. A public body may require a requestor to complete a records
11
12 request form. If a records request does not describe the requested
12
13 records with reasonable specificity, a public body may ask the
13
14 requestor to clarify the request. To have reasonable specificity, a
14
15 request shall:
15
16 a. specify a general time frame within which the
16
17 requested records would have been created or
17
18 transmitted,
18
19 b. seek identifiable records, rather than general
19
20 information without any qualifiers or other
20
21 specifications, and
21
22 c. include search terms that are sufficiently specific to
22
23 assist the public body in identifying the requested
23
24 records.
24
Req. No. 2505 Page 9
1 If a public body has engaged with the requestor to seek the
1
2 information needed to fulfill the request and to identify the
2
3 records sought by the requestor, including providing the requestor
3
4 with general topics or a specific list of records related to the
4
5 request, the request may be denied if it is still not reasonably
5
6 specific; and
6
7 8. A public body shall designate certain persons who are
7
8 authorized to release records of the public body for inspection,
8
9 copying, or mechanical reproduction. At least one person shall be
9
10 available at all times to release records during the regular
10
11 business hours of the public body.
