G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On September 2, 2022, Mr. Ball requested the following records: 1.

The total Number of Agent Registration Cards issued to agents employed by Treevit LLC … This request is limited to the total number of Agents currently determined suitable by the Commission for employment at Treevit LLC. The Commission responded on September 9, 2022. Unsatisfied with the response, Mr. Ball petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR22/2752, was opened as a result. Based upon a conversation between a Public Records Division senior attorney and a Commission representative, it is my understanding that the Commission intends on providing a further response to Mr. Ball.
