Can Westmoreland County limit the number of requests that a citizen can make?
No. The law states that a state or local agency cannot limit “the number of records which may be requested or made available for inspection or duplication.”
However, citizens should use good judgment in seeking records from the public body and not use this law to harass or overburden a public body from performing its job.
Also, a public body can deny repeated requests for the same records by the same request. [Section 506]
