5. Have agencies imposed prohibitive fees to discourage requesters?

No such practices have been reported. Furthermore, the Attorney General has advised several government agencies that duplication of public records is subject to reasonable fees. See, e.g., Op. Att'y Gen. Ala. No. 2007-067, 2007 Ala. AG LEXIS 40 (Apr. 3, 2007); 212 Op. Att'y Gen. Ala. 26 (Aug. 1, 1988); 208 Op. Att'y Gen. Ala. 28 (Sept. 2, 1987). A prohibitively and unreasonably high fee should be subject to attack as effectively undermining the statutory right of access.
