Re: Public Records Request
Dear Ms. Drubi,
The Indiana Department of Insurance received your public records request on April 29, 2019, for the following:
· All records relating to closed automotive claims for commercial automobile insurance
Your correspondence is a request for public records pursuant to Indiana Code § 5-14-3 et seq. Please accept this letter as a response to your request under Indiana Code § 5-14-3-9. As we currently have several other open APRA requests at this time, we appreciate your patience in advance as we work to complete your request.
Indiana Code § 5-14-3-8(b) provides for a copy charge of ten cents ($0.10) per standard sized (8 ½" x 11") pages copied, fifty cents ($0.50) per ledger sized (11" x 17") pages, and $1.00 for plan sized (24" x 36") pages copied. Once we know what records are available in response to your request, we will notify you of any charges prior to sending you the records.
The Indiana General Assembly has provided public agencies discretion as to whether to disclose certain records under Indiana Code § 5-14-3-4(b). We will make requested disclosable records available on a case by case basis as permitted by statute. If we deny disclosure of a record or records, we will cite the specific exemption that authorizes our office to withhold a specific record pursuant to Indiana Code § 5-14-3-9(d).
