What is FOIA?
FOIA is an acronym for the Freedom of Information Act.
FOIA is an open-government law grounded in the principle that the public should be able to access public records and information about the workings of their government.
FOIA provides that the people are entitled to full and complete information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts and policies of those who represent them as public officials, and that such access is necessary to enable people monitor government to ensure that it is being conducted in the public interest.
