Abstract
The Act adds the definition of ‘custodian’ for the purposes of public records requests to make clear that a custodian is the agency that has control over such public records. Further, the Act states that all requests for public records must be made to a custodian. As a result, when an individual submits a public records request, the request goes to the government entity rather than directly to the business from whom the record is requested. This diverges from the previous statute which allowed public records requests to be sent directly to private Businesses.
