Public Information Act Requests
Maryland's Public Information Act (MPIA), codified at Md. General Provisions Code Ann. §4-101 et seq., grants the public the right to access records that are in the possession of State and local governmental agencies without unnecessary cost and delay. The MPIA also explains that some requests for information must be denied, while others may be subject to discretionary exceptions.
The MPIA requires each governmental unit that maintains public records to identify a custodian of records. A member of the public should contact the custodian to request a public record.
Public Records
A public record is an original or copy of any documentary material in any form created or received by the department in connection with the transaction of public business. This includes:
- computerized records,
- books and written materials,
- drawings, photocopies, photographs, and maps,
- films, microfilms, records, and tapes
Public Record Access
The MPIA provides access to most agency records.
Associated Fees
The custodian may charge reasonable fees for the search and preparation of records for inspection and copying.
