The public’s right to access public records supersedes laws relieving government agencies from compiling new records, according to a recent North Dakota Attorney General Opinion. The Department of Transportation denied a request for records by Carfax, although the state public records access law requires that “an electronically stored record under this section [44-04-18], or a copy thereof, must be provided at the requester’s option in either a printed document or through any other available medium.” ND DOT responded that it wasn’t required to create or compile a record that does not exist. The Attorney General disagreed, requiring corrective measures be instituted within 7 days.
