Legal Question in Constitutional Law in Arizona
Freedom of Information Act
I have submitted the Maricopa county required form from Human Resources-to Human Resources trying to get a variety of information, such as a flow chart and certain policies for Maricopa county government employees. I have not received a response and I am following the guidelines of the FOIA. Where can I get more info on the net about FOIA? Maricopa County government states on their form that they are not obligated to produce the information asked for. Is this legal? I am assuming that FOIA is under the category of constitutional law. Am I correct in this assumption?
Thank you,--name removed--Keays

Re: Freedom of Information Act
You are looking in the wrong place. FOIA covers federal, not state, agencies. States have their own "sunshine" laws.
AZ statutes covering this topic may be found using the "legal research" resources on this site.
