Va. Freedom of Information Act; proceedings for enforcement, petition for mandamus or injunction.

Summary

The bill changes Virginia’s Freedom of Information Act enforcement rules so that when someone files a petition for a court order (mandamus) or an injunction to enforce FOIA rights, they do not have to serve a summons or other process for a hearing. This speeds up the legal process for requesters seeking access to public records and reduces procedural hurdles for courts.
