Complaint Form, Public Records Ombudsman
W.S. 16-4-202(c)(v) gives those seeking public records from governmental entities in Wyoming the right to file a complaint with the Public Records Ombudsman to determine if the custodian of the public records sought has demonstrated good cause that has prevented release of the requested public records within the time period outline in the Public Records Act.
Furthermore, under W.S. 16-4-203(f)(ii) the requester of public records has the option to file a complaint with the Public Records Ombudsman who may mediate the dispute, prescribe timelines for release of the information, and/or waive any fees charged by the governmental entity.
Release of Wyoming public records is governed by the Public Records Act (W.S. 16-4-201 to 205).
