Yes. Under C.R.S. ยง 24-72-203(1)(a), the Colorado General Assembly provides the records custodian with the ability to interpose rules regarding inspection of public records that are reasonably necessary for the protection of the records and necessary to prevent undue interference with the regular discharge of duties.
In this manner, CORA provides a balance between the public's right to inspect and copy public records, and the administrative burdens placed upon state agencies in responding to such requests (Pruitt v. Rockwell, 886 P.2d 315 (Colo. App. 1994)) The CORA officer makes the determination of whether or not a CORA request is standard. Colorado case law provides for a nominal fee of $41.37 per hour for retrieval and production of the records being requested.
No. Questions regarding interpretation of records provided pursuant to an open records request are beyond the scope of the Open Records Act.
