Public Information Presentation

This document provides an overview of public information laws and how they apply to government agencies. It states that government information is public unless it fits an exception outlined in statute and includes records collected or maintained for official business. Common exceptions include personnel files, pending litigation documents, confidential student records, and teacher evaluations. The agency must determine if an exception applies and ask the Attorney General for a ruling within 10 days of a written public information request. The agency must make a good faith effort to provide responsive information to requesters while balancing public access rights with privacy concerns.
