密歇根州立法者正在考虑作出一项改变,使州长办公室和州立法机构受《信息自由法》(FOIA)要求的约束,从而提高政府的透明度。 Michigan lawmakers are considering a change that could make the governor's office and state Legislature subject to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, enhancing government transparency. 目前,密歇根州在免除这些办公室对FOIA的豁免方面是独一无二的。 Currently, Michigan is unique in exempting these offices from FOIA. 如果参议院的议案通过,公民可以要求2027年的电子邮件和记录,但立法者和选民之间的通讯、内部调查和核心小组记录除外。 If the Senate bills pass, citizens could request emails and records from 2027, with exceptions for communications between lawmakers and constituents, internal investigations, and caucus records. 这一发展是在多年倡导建立更加开放的政府之后进行的。 This development follows years of advocacy for more open government.
