Data Request Form
Requests for government data must be responded to in an “appropriate and prompt manner.” If the responsible authority or designee is unable to provide copies at the time a request is made, they must be supplied as “soon as reasonably possible.” Because there is no specific number of days for responding to all requests for public data, the responsible authority has discretion in the time needed to fulfill a request, based on its scope. Minn. Stat. § 13.03, subd. 3.
There is a specific time limit when the request comes from the data subject. If an immediate response is not possible, the responsible authority must respond within 10 business days of the request
