1VAC75-30-120: Fees charged for requests under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act ( § 2.2-3700 et seq. of the Code of Virginia)

Fees shall be computed on all requests for information under the Virginia Freedom of Information Act, Chapter 37 ( § 2.2-3700 et seq.) of Title 2.2 of the Code of Virginia, related to the escheat process. The fee assessed shall be determined based on the actual time of the employee performing the duties necessary to comply with the request and other costs incurred. Other costs include copies, postage, and any other cost directly associated with providing the requested information.

If there is an amount due the agency and it is in excess of 30 days past due, current and future requests for information will be withheld until the outstanding amount is paid to the agency. Continued failure to pay fees when due may result in the agency requesting payment in advance.
