AN ACT CONCERNING VEXATIOUS REQUESTERS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT.

Summary

The bill lets a public agency ask a state commission to label a requester as vexatious when the requester’s behavior is abusive or threatening, even outside the actual records request. If the commission agrees, the agency can be exempt from responding to that requester for up to one year the first time, or up to three years for repeat cases. A denied or granted decision can be appealed to the superior court within fifteen days.
