Frequently Asked FOIA Questions

Q: What is FOIA?

A: FOIA stands for the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, which was enacted to provide direct access to the functions of government to the general public and press.

Q: Do I have to file a formal FOI request to get information?

A: Before filing a formal FOIA request, you may want to call or visit the public Records office first and ask for the information you are seeking. A formal FOIA request may not be needed. If one is required, this request must be in writing.

Q: Is there a fee associated with a FOI request?

A: Generally speaking there is a fee that the public bodies are allowed to charge under FOIA. This fee may vary depending on the type of the request. A fee may be charged not to exceed the actual cost of research and making copies.

Q: If I am a victim in case, will I be charge a fee to obtain a copy of an incident report?

A: No.

Q: How many days are allowed before my FOI request requires a response from the public body?

A: Each public body, upon written request, has ten days (excluding weekends and legal, public holidays) to respond to a request. If the requested information is older than two years, this increases to twenty days.

Q: Can the public body charge an hourly rate for research?

A: Yes. There is nothing under this Act that prevents the public body from charging an hourly rate, but it has to be a reasonable rate..

For more information about the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, please visit the South Carolina State Government website at www.scstatehouse.gov
