Civil rights: public records; applicability of the freedom of information act to the legislature and governor's office; provide for. Amends secs. 2 & 3 of 1976 PA 442 (MCL 15.232 & 15.233).

This bill updates Michigan's Freedom of Information Act to explicitly include the state legislature and the governor's office within its scope, ensuring their records are subject to public disclosure requests. It clarifies definitions for terms like "public body" and "public record" to cover digital formats such as cloud storage and quantum computing systems while excluding personal notes and certain software licenses. The legislation also establishes specific procedures for handling requests, including requirements for contact information and the right to subscribe to regularly issued records, with exceptions for the executive office of the governor and legislative fiscal agencies. By amending existing sections of the law, the bill aims to standardize how citizens can access government information across all branches of state government.
