Typical requests include police and collision reports, environmental permits, contracts and invoices, budgets and audits, and emails of public officials.
Exemptions cover active law-enforcement investigations, personal privacy interests, trade secrets, and records where disclosure would compromise security.
You can ask the agency to reconsider and, if necessary, file suit in district court to enforce your rights under the Act.
FOIA applies only to federal agencies; Oklahoma’s Act covers state and local bodies and emphasizes prompt access rather than fixed deadlines.
