Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Requests - Changes Effective July 1, 2015
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a Michigan Statue that gives the public the right to documents regarding the affairs of government, public officials and public employees. Under the Act, a person has the right to inspect, copy or receive copies of "public records" of a "public body".
The Legislature made many significant changes to FOIA at the end of 2014. These changes go into effect on July 1, 2015. Under the new law, municipalities must adopt "Procedures and Guidelines" describing fees associated with FOIA requests.
