(410 ILCS 525/12) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 6712)

Sec. 12. All information contained in the Registry, as well as all reports issued by the Department, including the annual report, shall be made available to the public upon request; provided, however, nothing in this Act permits public disclosure of any information made confidential or privileged pursuant to this Act or any other statute. Identification or contact of individuals from public reports or data released under the Freedom of Information Act is prohibited. The Director may, by rule, establish fees to be charged to persons or organizations other than State agencies for requested summaries or analyses of data which are not otherwise included in an annual report. The fees shall not be more than the cost to the Department of supplying the requested information. The Department shall make available on its web site non-confidential public use databases for easy and direct access and download by the public.
