Brandeis — AI for FOIABrandeis — AI for FOIA
Maryland

Public records software that already knows Maryland's law.

Brandeis ships with a statute profile for the Maryland Public Information Act (PIA) — the response clock, extension rules, exemption citations, and appeal language your AI agents and your staff work from on day one. The law is configuration, not a professional-services project.

30
calendar days to respond
Computed from receipt — weekends, holidays, and day type handled by the deadline math, not a spreadsheet.
+30
calendar days of extension
Notice required — the drafting agent writes it with the permitted reason cited.
3
seeded exemption citations
The exemption agent flags passages with Maryland's own sections.
1
nightly deadline sweep
An agent watches every open request's clock, every night.
Exemptions, cited not vibed

The agents quote Maryland, chapter and verse.

When an AI agent flags a passage for exemption, the flag carries the citation — and a named staffer confirms or dismisses every one. The starter profile seeds the most-cited sections:

Md. Code, Gen. Prov. § 4-311

Personnel records

Md. Code, Gen. Prov. § 4-351

Investigatory records

Md. Code, Gen. Prov. § 4-335

Trade secrets and confidential commercial information

If a denial is appealed: Public Access Ombudsman mediation, then the PIA Compliance Board or circuit court (Gen. Prov. §§ 4-1B-04, 4-362). The appeal-packet agent assembles counsel's dossier straight from the audit log.

Reviewed, then live

Starter profile, finished with your counsel.

Public-records statutes are nuanced. The Maryland profile ships as a reviewed starting point — day counts, sections, and appeal language your counsel confirms and tunes per agency before go-live. It is configuration to verify, never legal advice.
