Government Information Law

Government Information Law refers to the legal frameworks and principles that govern how government agencies handle public information. It primarily focuses on the right of citizens to access information held by the government, ensuring transparency and accountability. This area of law also outlines the rules for how agencies must respond to information requests, what information can be withheld for privacy or security reasons, and the procedures for appealing denied requests. Essentially, it aims to balance public access to information with the need for government confidentiality.
