In this manner the Indiana Department of Administration acknowledges receipt of your request for public records and will commence searching for properly disclosable records and respond as quickly as is reasonably possible upon your reply to the below.
Initially, see the requirements for clarification below:
1. Please provide the time period for the records you seek. As written the request is overly broad and expansive. See:
IC 5-14-3-3
Right to inspect and copy public agency records; electronic data storage; use of information for commercial purposes; contracts
Sec. 3. (a) Any person may inspect and copy the public records of any public agency during the regular business hours of the agency, except as provided in section 4 of this chapter. A request for inspection or copying must:
(1) identify with reasonable particularity the record being requested; and
(2) be, at the discretion of the agency, in writing on or in a form provided by the agency.
No request may be denied because the person making the request refuses to state the purpose of the request, unless such condition is required by other applicable statute.
2. Please provide a notarized affidavit that any records which may be provided will not be utilized for commercial purposes. A review of your websie indicates charges are assessed for those seeking information from your site. See IC 5-14-3-3.

Hello Mr. Grogg,
Does January 1, 2005 to present work as a time period for the request? This has sufficed for other agencies so far.
As to a commercial purpose for the records, there is actually no charge for access to the documents Muckrock.com requests through FOIA. There is a subscription fee for users to use our interface to make requests of their own, but access to records any user has requested is completely free and public. If an affidavit is still necessary feel free to let me know, but I'll reiterate that there's no commercial end to this request, and Muckrock.com is a non-profit news organization.
Best,
Daniel Welch

My review of the MudRuck website remains to appear to utilize the requested information for commercial purposes which is prohibited by Indiana Statute. If there is a more direct means to access similar records you have obtained please notify me and I will again attempt to search to assure a fee is not charged.
Please advise.
Kindest Regards,
