Is a public agency or official required under the Freedom of Access Act to honor a “standing request” for information, such as a request that certain reports be sent to me automatically each month?
No. A public body is required to make available for inspection and copying (subject to any applicable exemptions) only those public records that exist on the date of the request. Persons seeking to inspect or obtain copies of public records on a continuing basis are required to make a new request for any additional records sought after the date of the original request.
