Terms and Conditions

NOTE:

In accordance with Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 192.420, every person has the right to inspect any nonexempt public record of a public body in Oregon. The Oregon State Treasury (OST) will fully comply with this law and will respond to public records request as detailed within this request form.

Public records are writings containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business. Writings include handwritten, typed, photographed, electronic and otherwise recorded words, letters, pictures, sounds, symbols or combinations thereof (ORS 192.410). State law exempts some public records from disclosure. (ORS 192.410 to 192.505) Public bodies are not required to explain or answer questions about their public records, nor are they required to create public records where none exist. Public bodies are required to make available for inspection and copying, subject to any applicable exemptions, only those records that exist at the time of the request.

OST staff will respond promptly, but the timing of OST's response will depend on the nature and extent of your request. OST will respond to advise you of the estimated costs involved in fulfilling your request, which must be prepaid before any further work is preformed in completing your request. No public records request will be processed without prepayment of the estimated cost. You will be required to pay the costs of processing your request even if no records are found, or if the records are exempt from disclosure. OST will contact you 1) to advise you of the final cost of your request, which is payable prior to review or pickup/mailing 2) to provide a date when the records can be reviewed, picked up, or mailed to you; and 3) to advise that the request is being denied. If OST denies your request to review the public record(s), a written explanation of the reason for denial will be provided.

Most records available for public inspection are property of the Oregon State Treasury. Nothing can be altered, added, or removed from these records. Allowing the inspection and/or copying of public records in the custody of OST is not meant to waive or restrict any copyright, proprietary, confidentiality, privilege, exemption of disclosure, or other rights in said documents.

I HAVE READ AND AGREE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE CONDITIONS and further agree to pay the cost of fulfilling this Public Records Request according to the conditions set forth above and as established in the fee schedule adopted by the Oregon State Treasury which is in effect at the time my request is submitted. These costs may include the cost of locating the records (including the cost of searching for records regardless of whether staff was able to locate the records request), copying the records, redacting exempt information from the records, certifying the records, and mailing records.
