Michigan Senate Votes To Extend FOIA Law To Governor & Legislature
The Michigan Senate passed bills to extend Freedom of Information Act requirements to the Governor and Legislature, closing a major transparency gap. This move directly addresses the state’s historical lack of government integrity and poor public access rankings, significantly enhancing open data standards. By treating top officials as subject to public records laws, the legislation promotes greater accountability and aligns state governance with best practices for civic oversight.
