Electronic Freedom of Information Act (E-FOIA)

The Electronic Freedom of Information Act (E-FOIA) is a law that makes it easier for the public to access electronic government records. It requires agencies to provide information in digital formats upon request, promoting transparency and accountability. E-FOIA also updates the original FOIA to include online data, ensuring that digital information is readily available. It helps individuals, journalists, and organizations obtain government-held electronic records, such as emails, reports, and databases, in a timely manner while protecting sensitive information. Overall, E-FOIA strengthens open government by adapting access laws to the digital age.
