The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Amendments refer to changes made to the original law that allows the public to request access to federal agency records. These amendments aim to improve transparency and accountability in government by streamlining the process for obtaining information and reducing delays in responses. Recent amendments have also focused on enhancing the protection of sensitive information while ensuring that more records are available to the public. This balance seeks to promote openness while safeguarding national security and personal privacy, ultimately fostering trust between the government and its citizens.
