Chapter 485-X-1 - COMPOSITION AND OPERATION OF THE BOARD
Section 485-X-1-.12 - Public Records

(1) Public Records may be viewed only by appointment and by completing a request form detailing the record or records desired. A board member or employee must be present at all times to ensure integrity of the records and privacy protections. No original records may be removed from the board office at any time.

(2) Records may be copied on request by completing a request form detailing the record or records to be copied, and upon payment of a fee to recover costs for preparation, materials, and time incurred by the board.

(3) Board records deemed sensitive may be withheld from public viewing. Examples would be materials received in confidence; sensitive personnel records; pending criminal investigations; and records whose disclosure would be detrimental to the best interests of the public (see the Attorney General's Opinion 2007-031 for further guidance). Attorney fees for determining which records should be exempt from release cannot be recovered.
