Agency Decision Summary

The Human Rights Regulations and the Virginia Freedom of Information Act are two distinctive regulatory processes. The Human Rights regulations are intended to assure consumer protections of legal, civil and human rights related to the receipt of behavioral health and developmental services.  VFOIA is intended to ensure citizen access to government records in custody of public officials and meetings of "public bodies.” The request exceeds the scope of the 12VAC 35-115
