Open Records

An illustration shows, at the top left, a woman with medium-toned skin holding papers and sitting in front of a laptop. Five circles are situated in sequence from the bottom left of the illustration to the top right. Inside the circles, from left to right are: hands typing on a laptop with the word "FOIA" on the screen; a hand writing on a notepad as a laptop is partially visible; a woman talking on a cellphone while sitting in front of a laptop; a man receiving a phone call in front of a desktop screen; and a man redacting a document. At the bottom right of the illustration is a woman receiving documents and binders that are flying out of a laptop screen.
