Freedom of Information Act

Virginia Freedom of Information Act – Rights and Responsibilities

根据弗吉尼亚信息自由法案，请求者的权利和博彩平台网址大全(WCC)的责任

The Virginia Freedom of Information Act (《中国博彩平台》), located § 2.2-3700 et. seq. of the Code of Virginia, 保障联邦公民和媒体代表能够查阅公共机构持有的公共记录, 政府官员, 以及公务员.

A public record is any writing or recording — regardless of whether it is a paper record, 电子文件, an audio or video recording, or any other format — that is prepared or owned by, or in the possession of a public body or its officers, employees or agents in the transaction of public business. All public 记录 are presumed to be open, and may only be withheld if a specific, statutory exemption applies.

《中国博彩平台》的政策指出，《中国博彩平台》的目的是提高所有人对政府活动的认识. In furthering this policy, 信息自由法要求 the law be interpreted liberally, 支持访问, and that any exemption allowing public 记录 to be withheld must be interpreted narrowly.

你的《中国博彩平台》权利

• You have the right to inspect or receive copies of public 记录, or both.
• You have the right to request that any charges for the requested 记录 be estimated in advance.  公共机构必须以书面通知请求人，公共机构可收取合理的费用，但不得超过查阅资料所产生的实际成本, 复制, 提供, 或者搜索所请求的记录，并询问请求者是否希望在提供所请求的记录之前请求成本估算.
• If you believe that your 《中国博彩平台》 rights have been violated, you may file a petition in district or circuit court to compel compliance with 《中国博彩平台》. Alternatively, you may contact the 《中国博彩平台》 Council for a nonbinding advisory opinion.

Making a request for 记录 from Wytheville Community College

• You may request 记录 by U.S. Mail, fax, e-mail, in person, or over the phone. 《中国博彩平台》 does not require that your request be in writing, nor do you need to specifically state that you are requesting 记录 under 《中国博彩平台》. 
  • From a practical perspective, it may be helpful to both you and the person receiving your request to put your request in writing. This allows you to create a record of your request. It also gives us a clear statement of what 记录 you are requesting, so that there is no misunderstanding over a verbal request. 然而, we cannot refuse to respond to your 《中国博彩平台》 request if you elect to not put it in writing.
• Your request must identify the 记录 you are seeking with “reasonable specificity.” This is a common-sense standard. It does not refer to or limit the volume or number of 记录 that you are requesting; instead, 它要求你足够具体，以便我们能够识别和定位你正在寻找的记录.
• Your request must ask for existing 记录 or documents. 《中国博彩平台》 gives you a right to inspect or copy 记录; it does not apply to a situation where you are asking general questions about the work of WCC, nor does it require WCC to create a record that does not exist.
• You may choose to receive electronic 记录 in any format used by Wytheville Community College in the regular course of business. 
  • 例如, if you are requesting 记录 maintained in an Excel database, you may elect to receive those 记录 electronically, via e-mail or on a computer disk, or to receive a printed copy of those 记录
• If we have questions about your request, please cooperate with staff’s efforts to clarify the type of 记录 that you are seeking, or to attempt to reach a reasonable agreement about a response to a large request. Making a 《中国博彩平台》 request is not an adversarial process, 但我们可能需要与您讨论您的请求，以确保我们了解您正在寻找的记录.

To request 记录 from Wytheville Community College, you may direct your request to Malinda Poole Eversole.  Malinda Poole Eversole can be reached at 1000 E Main St., Wytheville, VA 24382; 276-223-4869.

除了, 信息自由咨询委员会(Freedom of Information Advisory Council)随时为您解答有关《中国博彩平台》如何运作的任何问题. 该委员会是在州政府立法部门设立的，负责就《中国博彩平台》的运作和应用发表意见, to publish educational materials, and to provide training about 《中国博彩平台》.  然而, 请注意，本局并非档案储存库，亦不代表其他公共机构处理档案申请, nor is the Council an investigative or enforcement agency.  The Council may be contacted by email at foiacouncil@dls.维吉尼亚州.gov, or by phone at (804) 698-1810 or toll-free at 1 (866) 448-4100.
