Bill Summary
To require the Office of Policy and Management to conduct a study of state agency response times to Freedom of Information Act requests.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Secretary of the Office of Policy and Management, a state government office responsible for planning and budgeting, to conduct a study on how quickly state agencies respond to requests for public records made under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The FOIA is a law that gives the public the right to access government records. The study will examine average response times, identify instances where slow responses led to complaints filed with the Freedom of Information Commission (a state body that handles FOIA disputes), and propose any legislative recommendations based on the findings. The Secretary must submit a report detailing these findings to the General Assembly's government oversight committee by January 15, 2027.
