Bill overview
This bill seeks to extend the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to include the Michigan Legislature and the Governor's office. It amends existing FOIA sections to specifically designate FOIA coordinators within these branches of government, establish procedures for appealing denials of information requests, and outline exemptions for certain types of records, such as those related to law enforcement investigations and executive privilege. The bill also includes a provision for penalties related to non-compliance with FOIA requirements.
