Made in Michigan

Founded in Michigan.
Starting with Michigan.

Dekree was started in Kalamazoo, by people who work alongside Michigan clerks every week. Our first market is the 3,000+ Michigan public bodies that share the same FOIA (MCL 15.231 et seq.) and Open Meetings Act (MCL 15.261 et seq.) you do — modeled deeply, statute by statute. The product is built to extend; Michigan is where we earn that first.

The Michigan compliance landscape

Roughly 3,275 organizations carry the same statutes you do.

Modeled at the statute level

Six MCL sections run every Michigan compliance workflow today.

Dekree models each as a graph node. Templates, deadlines, and citations derive from the statute itself — not a generic schema with state codes filed off. The same depth is how we'll model the next state when we're ready.

MCL 15.231

FOIA findings and intent

The legislative purpose underlying every FOIA workflow.

MCL 15.234

FOIA fee schedule

Labor, materials, and digital-delivery cost rules.

MCL 15.243

FOIA exemptions (1)(a)–(m)

The thirteen exemption categories cited in every denial or partial grant.

MCL 15.261

OMA findings and intent

The legislative purpose underlying every Open Meetings workflow.

MCL 15.265

OMA notice rules

The 18-hour rule for special meetings, posting locations, annual schedule.

MCL 15.269

OMA minutes

Required minutes content and the 8-business-day public-availability window.

Made in Kalamazoo

We started where we live.

Dekree is built and operated from southwest Michigan. Our first pilot was a township twenty minutes from our office. When you call, you reach the people who wrote the code. When you ask for a feature, the answer is "yes" or "here is when." That's the standard we set in Michigan; it's the standard we'll carry forward.
