This is in response to your request for copies of all "Request and Justification for out-of-state travel" forms submitted in 2013, and to the most recent date possible in 2014, by employees and appointees of the Montana Board of Crime Control. Because of the time involved in providing this documentation (pulling documents, verifying each OOS form to actual expenditures, scanning, and sending), we would charge a fee consisting of staff time for two employees - approximately 6 hours or $205.52.
The State of Montana has a website accessible by the public and free of charge for the type of information you are requesting. The Transparency in Government Portal includes Montana's Checkbook which consists of all non-confidential and unaudited payment information. Through this portal, you can search by fiscal year, department and expenditure categories.
