Summary
The bill adds definitions to Maine’s Freedom of Access Act that separate commercial, educational, scientific, and news‑media requests. It limits agency fees for noncommercial requests to the first two staff‑hours, while allowing agencies to set fees for commercial requests. Requesters must certify the type of request and whether the information is tied to an ongoing lawsuit.
