Huntington Records Request Under Indiana Law

Indiana's Access to Public Records Act covers all government offices in Huntington. The law at IC 5-14-3-1 says all persons are entitled to full and complete information about the affairs of government. You do not need to be a Huntington resident. No reason is needed when you file a request. The agency cannot deny your request just because you did not say why you want the record.

Response times are set by law. In-person or verbal requests must get a response within 24 hours. Written requests get seven calendar days. If an agency fails to respond on time, the request is deemed denied. You can then reach the State Public Access Counselor at 317-234-0906 or 1-800-228-6013 for help.

Not all records are open. Under IC 5-14-3-4, some records are exempt from disclosure. These include certain law enforcement files and confidential information. But the default in Indiana is that records are public and accessible. If denied, the agency must give you a written reason with a specific statute cited and the name of the person who made the decision.
