Freedom of Information Law (FOIL)
Genesee County NY
The Freedom of Information Law provides the public with the right to access certain government records.
The New York State Legislature clearly noted the purpose of FOIL:
The legislature hereby finds that a free society is maintained when government is responsive and responsible to the public, and when the public is aware of governmental actions. The more open a government is with its citizenry, the greater the understanding and participation of the public in government. (New York State Public Officers Law §84. )
The People's right to know the process of government decision making and the documents and statistics leading to determinations is basic to our society. (Resolution Nos. 152 (1975), 30 (1981), &. 112 (2007), Genesee County Legislature)
