South Carolina Freedom of Information Act

S.C. Code Ann. §30-4-10 to 30-4-55

The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of governmental bodies in South Carolina. South Carolina’s definition of records includes all records, no matter their physical characteristics, that were “prepared, owned, used, in the possession of, or retained by a public body.”

Anyone may request public records and a statement of purpose is not required. The South Carolina Freedom of Information Act prohibits the use of police reports, information about disabled individuals and employee information for commercial purposes. There is a 15 day period for a business to respond to records requests.

We the People

We the People have a Right to Know according to the Supreme Court of the United States [SCOTUS], past Presidents (of both major political parties), Congress, and the United States Department of Justice. As an expression of that Right to Know, we have coordinated valuable information from a number of resources into a single, public-facing, searchable database.
