FOIA/PERA Requests

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a law that gives the public the right to records in public agencies. Any agency being asked to fill a FOIA request must respond to the request within 5 business days. The agency has the option of extending the time for an additional 10 business days, if necessary.
