Section 2-71-1 - Purpose, scope, and construction The purpose of this chapter is to establish:
(1) Procedures and time limits that agencies shall follow when processing requests to inspect or copy government records under part II of the Uniform Information Practices Act (Modified), chapter 92F, Hawaii Revised Statutes; and(2) The fees that agencies may charge for searching for, reviewing, and segregating government records and a waiver of these fees when the public interest would be served. The fees set forth in this chapter are not intended to obstruct public access to disclosable government records, but rather are intended to allow agencies to recover some costs in providing access disclosable records upon request.
