Records Request Form

Public access to state and local government records is governed by Massachusetts General Law c. 66 §10. The Freedom of Information Act is a federal law that pertains to access to federal government records.

The Public Records Law only applies to government records already in existence. A records custodian is not required by the Public Records Law to answer questions or create a record in response to a request but may do so at his or her discretion.

All data and information is considered a public record (as previously defined) unless it falls into one of the exemptions listed here.

Required in order to locate the information, you seek.
If unknown, please use the approximate date.
