Public Information Act Request Form

Public Information Act Request Form
The Maryland Public Information Act (PIA) governs the inspection and copying of public records held by state and local government agencies. The PIA is similar in some respects to the federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), which governs the disclosure of documents held by U.S. government agencies.

The PIA requires that its provisions be “construed in favor of permitting inspection of a public record.” However, the law also exempts certain records from disclosure. If you are denied access to a record held by a state or local agency, you may ask a court to review whether the denial was appropriate under the PIA.

Public information requests are requests to produce documents within the Town files. For public transparency, the Town Manager reports the status of Public Information requests in the Town Managers report to Commissioners during the Commissioners regular meetings.
