Definition

A FOIA Officer is a person appointed by a public body. The FOIA officer’s responsibility is to receive FOIA requests from the public and to send responses in compliance with FOIA.

The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requires that all public bodies designate one or more officials or employees to act as a Freedom of Information Act Officer (FOIA Officer).

These FOIA Officers (or their designees) shall receive requests for records, ensure that the public body responds to the requests in a timely fashion, and issue responses under FOIA.
