    21. Fees
      Clerk's Fee Schedule
      Idaho Code Section 74-102 (12) provides: In the event the Clerk , as the custodian of the records, in the process of this request determines that completing this request is likely to involve the production of more than 100 copies, or involve more than 2 hours of staff time, and/or will involve legal advice for review and redaction, the Secretary will estimate those fees and provide written notice to the Requester requiring advance payment of those estimated fees. If the estimated fees are then paid the Clerk will proceed with the Request. Funds received will be credited to the Requester’s account. Any portion of an advance payment of fees by the Requester, in excess of the actual costs incurred in responding to the request, shall be returned to the requester. In the event the Clerk provides written notice requiring advance payment of estimated fees this request will not be considered received until advanced payment has been made by the requester.
    23. Exemption from Fees
      No fee for labor or copying shall be charged in the event the requester demonstrates that the requester's examination and/or copying of public records: • Is likely to contribute significantly to the public's understanding of the operations or activities of the government; and • Is not primarily in the individual interest of the requester including, but not limited to, the requester's interest in litigation in which the requester is or may become party; and • Would not otherwise occur because the requester has insufficient financial resources to pay such fees.
