内布拉斯加州最高法院裁定，国家机构可以收取“特殊”费用，称为“特殊服务费”，以审查公共记录请求。 Nebraska's Supreme Court has ruled that state agencies can charge "special" fees, known as "special services charges," to review public records requests. 这一决定源于非营利新闻提供商 Flatwater Free Press 提起的诉讼，该机构向内布拉斯加州环境与能源部寻求有关水污染的公共记录。 This decision stems from a lawsuit brought by Flatwater Free Press, a nonprofit news provider, who sought public records on water pollution from the Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy. 高等法院的裁决可能会导致高额费用被用来向公众隐瞒信息，引发人们对获取公共记录的担忧。 The high court's ruling could potentially lead to high fees being used to keep information from the public, raising concerns about access to public records.
