You have a right to see and copy records of public bodies. A record cannot be withheld and a meeting cannot be closed unless a specific exemption applies. The FOIA — also known as the Sunshine Law because it shines light on government meetings and records — is essential to our democratic form of government.

Criteria It must be in writing and signed by the person making the request; It must state that the request is being made pursuant to the FOIA; It must reasonably describe the records being requested; It must state the category of the requester for fee purposes (i.e., commercial, media, educational, all other);

FOIA applies to records created by federal agencies and does not cover records held by Congress, the courts, or state and local government agencies. Each state has its own public access laws that should be consulted for access to state and local records.

If the information you want is not publicly available, you can submit a FOIA request to the agency's FOIA Office. The request simply must be in writing and reasonably describe the records you seek. Most federal agencies now accept FOIA requests electronically, including by web form, e-mail or fax.

Requests may be submitted in writing to the Director of Strategic Communications at: information@admin.sc.gov. FOIA requests should be answered without charge when the request will benefit the public interest and requires minimal and/or a reasonable amount of employee time and photocopying expense.
