Public Records. <br /> <br /> <br />A. The provisions of these Bylaws relating to open records <br />shall be liberally construed with State open records laws to <br />promote the prompt disclosure of Commission records to citizens <br />at no cost or no greater than the actual cost to the Commission. <br />The Commission shall strictly construe exceptions provided under <br />the State statutes authorizing certain public records to be <br />exempt from disclosure to the public. <br /> <br />B.

No fee shall be charged for the inspection of <br />Commission records. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Page 8 of 10 <br />
