Fort Collins Coloradoan: The purpose of a bill proposing modifications to the Colorado Open Records Act is not to limit public access but simply to give government agencies additional time to respond to those using the law for “fishing expeditions,” sponsor Cathy Kipp said Wednesday.

Records custodians would be able to label those making excessive requests for public records as “vexatious requesters” and expand the time frame for responding to their requests to 30 days instead of the current three for most requests — with an allowance for up to seven days in “extenuating circumstances.”

Here’s a look at the bill and how it would impact open records in Colorado.
