The Iowa Supreme Court has ruled that, under Chapter 22 of Iowa’s Open Records Act, a government agency’s unreasonable delay in responding to a records request can be challenged as a “refusal” to comply.
This decision was made in response to former Gov. Kim Reynolds’ argument that the reasonableness of her response time to a records request couldn’t be litigated without violating the state’s constitution.
