Is the Department of Environmental Protection required to give out information from public records or produce public records in a particular form?
The Sunshine Law addresses the right to access, inspect, and copy existing public records but it does not mandate that an agency give out information from the records or create new records to accommodate a request for information. In addition, an agency is not generally required to reformat its records to meet a requestor’s particular needs.
