AI Summary

This bill amends the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in Michigan to require public bodies to separate exempt and non-exempt materials in a public record and make the non-exempt material available for examination and copying. The bill also states that when designing a public record, public bodies should facilitate the separation of exempt and non-exempt information to the extent practicable, and they should generally describe the exempted material unless doing so would reveal the contents of the exempt information. Additionally, the bill provides that the Attorney General shall counsel and advise public bodies on the administration of this part of the FOIA upon request. The bill is tied to House Bill 4150 of the 99th Legislature and takes effect on January 1, 2019.
