Text

§ 37-2.3-2. Legislative intent.
The legislature finds and declares that using private contractors to provide public
            services normally provided by public employees does not always promote the public
            interest. To ensure that citizens of this state receive high quality public services
            at low costs, with due regard for the taxpayers of this state, and the service recipients,
            the legislature finds it necessary to ensure that access to public information guaranteed
            by the access to public records act is not in any way hindered by the fact that public
            services are provided by private contractors.
