Civil rights: public records; applicability of the freedom of information act to the legislature and governor's office; provide for. Amends secs. 6, 10 & 13 of 1976 PA 442 (MCL 15.236 et seq.) & adds sec. 14a.

This bill updates Michigan's Freedom of Information Act to include the state legislature and the governor's office, ensuring they are subject to the same public records rules as other government agencies. It requires the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader to appoint specific coordinators to handle requests and appeals for their respective chambers. Under the new rules, if a legislative body denies access to records, citizens can appeal to these designated coordinators before filing a lawsuit, and courts must prioritize hearing these cases to ensure timely resolution.
