Thank you for your interest in learning more about how to submit a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is the United States federal freedom of information law that requires the full or partial disclosure of previously unreleased or uncirculated information and documents controlled by the U.S. government, state, or other public authority upon request. The act defines agency records subject to disclosure, outlines mandatory disclosure procedures, and includes nine exemptions that define categories of information not subject to disclosure. The act was intended to make U.S. government agencies’ functions more transparent so that the American public could more easily identify problems in government functioning and put pressure on Congress, agency officials, and the president to address them.[3] The FOIA has been changed repeatedly by both the legislative and executive branches.

Below you will find a PDF that contains information on your FOIA rights, how to make a request for records from VFHY, VFHY’s responsibilities in responding to your request, potential costs, and common exemptions.

If you have further questions, please reach out to VFHY’s FOIA Officer, Brennan C. Smith at [email protected]
