The Montana Freedom of Information Hotline is dedicated to keeping the operations of government in Montana open to public observation and participation. It seeks to accomplish that by providing free legal advice and assistance to journalists and members of the public confronted with improperly closed government doors or sealed documents.
The FOI Hotline also seeks to educate journalists, members of the public and government officials about Montana’s Constitution and laws, which generally guarantee that all levels of government authorized by the state do their work openly and accessibly to members of the public.
