Bill overview
The CLEAR Act expands the scope of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) to include certain federally established entities, such as the Government Accountability Office (GAO). This means that requests for information from these entities will be subject to FOIA requirements, regardless of when the records were created. The bill clarifies that the existing exemptions under FOIA (specifically 552(f)(1)) apply to these newly included entities. It aims to improve transparency and access to government records.
