A Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) grants the public the right to access government records, promoting transparency and accountability. Under FOIL, individuals can request records from public agencies, subject to exemptions for privacy, security, or other sensitive matters. These laws vary by jurisdiction but generally apply to federal, state, and local government entities. FOIL aims to balance the public’s right to know with the government’s need to protect confidential information. Requests are typically submitted in writing and must specify the desired records. FOIL fosters trust in government by enabling oversight of decisions, spending, and policies.
