Section 576.230  Copies of Public Records

Upon inspection, the requestor may segregate those records which he or she wishes to have copied.  Whenever copies of public records are requested, those copies shall be made by the Freedom of Information Officer or his or her designee.  Such copies shall be provided to the requestor only upon payment of any copying fees which are due.  Fees for copies of public records shall be assessed in accordance with the fee schedule for duplication of public records established by the Attorney General.  Payment of fees shall be waived if the requestor is a State agency, a constitutional officer, or a member of the General Assembly.  Fees may be waived whenever the Freedom of Information Officer determines that waiver of fees serves the public interest.
