Section 170-01-0100. Availability of public records.

Public records are available for inspection and copying during DEL's normal business hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., excluding legal holidays. A department staff person must be present at all times when a record is being inspected. Appointments are not required but significantly help DEL provide prompt and efficient service. Some DEL records may be stored in other locations, in computer storage systems, or the state records warehouse, and may take time for DEL to identify and gather them. Other records may be exempt from disclosure. Original records cannot be removed from a DEL building. If required by law, DEL must redact information in a record before making it available for inspection. DEL staff will make copies of records on request.
