Miscellaneous Resolution # 89125
BY: David L. Moffitt, County Commissioner-District #15
RE: (OPPOSE HB 4415 & SB 240)-LIMIT ACCESS TO CERTAIN INFORMATION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, HB 4415 as well as SB 240 seek to weaken Michigan's Freedom
of Information Act; and
WHEREAS, these bills would remove public scrutiny of the Workers' Compen-
sation Bureau records; and
WHEREAS, there is no public benefit which can be derived from limiting
our citizens' rights to access public records.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners does hereby go on record in opposition to HB 4415 and SB 240
as being contrary to the tenets of the Freedom of Information Act.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be
forwarded to Oakland County's State legislators and our Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
