The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

To participate in Michigan’s Home Energy Rebates program contractors must be part of a prequalified contractor network. To become a part of this network contractors must demonstrate their compliance with the following requirements. These initial requirements are subject to change up until the program has officially launched and are being released in this draft form to help interested contractors prepare for the programs launch.
Note: Contractors will be able to reduce the administrative burden of demonstrating compliance with each requirement by submitting verification of their participation in another prequalified contracting network like Michigan Saves.
