The Charitable Trust Section functions for Michigan citizens as a repository of
financial and other information about charities they may want to support. At any
one time there are more than 10,000 charities registered with the Attorney
General's Charitable Trust Section. Most charities soliciting contributions in
Michigan are required to register with the Charitable Trust Section. One of the
goals of the Attorney General is to help educate the public and to assist them
in making wise choices about what charities to support.

when.

Open Meetings
Go to Open Meetings

The Open Meetings Act (OMA) took effect January 1, 1977. In enacting the OMA,
the Legislature promoted a new era in governmental accountability and fostered
openness in government to enhance responsible decision making.1 Nothing in the
OMA prohibits a public body from adopting an ordinance, resolution, rule, or
charter provision that requires a greater degree of openness relative to public
body meetings than the standards provided for in the OMA. 2
