West Virginia Freedom of Information Act
The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act is a series of laws designed to guarantee that the public has access to public records of government bodies at all levels. West Virginia law defines records as "any writing containing information relating to the conduct of the public's business, prepared, owned and retained by a public body".
Anyone can request public records and a statement of purpose is not required, nor are there restrictions on the use of the records. The West Virginia Freedom of Information Act allows for 5 business day for records request responses.
