Washington WAC 296-63 — Right to Know Fee Assessment is a set of rules and regulations that govern the assessment of fees for the purpose of obtaining records from the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries (L&I). The fees are assessed in accordance with the Washington Public Records Act (PRA) and the Washington Open Public Records Act (OPERA). The fees cover costs associated with obtaining the records, such as staff time, photocopying, and other associated costs. There are two types of fees associated with the Washington WAC 296-63 — Right to Know Fee Assessment: 1) the basic fee, which is assessed for each page of the requested records, and 2) the special fee, which is assessed for records that require special retrieval or processing. The WAC also sets out limitations on the amount of fees that can be charged for each type of request. Fees assessed under the Washington WAC 296-63 — Right to Know Fee Assessment are payable to L&I, which is responsible for collecting and enforcing the fees.
