Delawares Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) was intended to create a State-wide and generally applicable standard for citizens access to public records and to further the accountability of government to the citizens of this State. To ensure consistency in the processing of requests for public records, and to ensure the goals of FOIA are being realized, this bill amends earlier-enacted provisions in the Delaware Insurance Code and Administrative Procedures Act related to public inspection of State agency documents to incorporate by reference the requirements of the later-enacted FOIA statute.

An Act To Amend Title 18 And Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Inspection Of Public Records.
