Access to public records.

Summary

The act lets state and local public agencies create an online portal for records requests that includes CAPTCHA, address verification, residency checks, and automated‑request tracking. It also gives agencies authority to deny or decline requests in certain litigation, security, or data‑scraping situations, to charge extra fees to out‑of‑state requestors, and to prioritize Indiana residents and civic, journalistic, academic, or personal uses. Declined or suspect requests must be reported to the public access counselor, who oversees training and advisory functions.
