SB2178- 8 -LRB103 28325 HEP 54704 b

1extended by the public body for not more than 5 business days
2from the original due date for any of the following reasons:
3        (i) the requested records are stored in whole or in
4    part at other locations than the office having charge of
5    the requested records;
6        (ii) the request requires the collection of a
7    substantial number of specified records;
8        (iii) the request is couched in categorical terms and
9    requires an extensive search for the records responsive to
10    it;
11        (iv) the requested records have not been located in
12    the course of routine search and additional efforts are
13    being made to locate them;
14        (v) the requested records require examination and
15    evaluation by personnel having the necessary competence
16    and discretion to determine if they are exempt from
17    disclosure under Section 7 of this Act or should be
18    revealed only with appropriate deletions;
19        (vi) the request for records cannot be complied with
20    by the public body within the time limits prescribed by
21    subsection (d) of this Section without unduly burdening or
22    interfering with the operations of the public body;
23        (vii) there is a need for consultation, which shall be
24    conducted with all practicable speed, with another public
25    body or among 2 or more components of a public body having
26    a substantial interest in the determination or in the

 

 

SB2178- 9 -LRB103 28325 HEP 54704 b

1    subject matter of the request.
2    The person making a request and the public body may agree
3in writing to extend the time for compliance for a period to be
4determined by the parties. If the requester and the public
5body agree to extend the period for compliance, a failure by
6the public body to comply with any previous deadlines shall
7not be treated as a denial of the request for the records.
8    (f) When additional time is required for any of the above
9reasons, the public body shall, within 15 5 business days
10after receipt of the request, notify the person making the
11request of the reasons for the extension and the date by which
12the response will be forthcoming. Failure to respond within
13the time permitted for extension shall be considered a denial
14of the request. A public body that fails to respond to a
15request within the time permitted for extension but thereafter
16provides the requester with copies of the requested public
17records may not impose a fee for those copies. A public body
18that requests an extension and subsequently fails to respond
19to the request may not treat the request as unduly burdensome
20under subsection (g).
21    (g) Requests calling for all records falling within a
22category shall be complied with unless compliance with the
23request would be unduly burdensome for the complying public
24body and there is no way to narrow the request and the burden
25on the public body outweighs the public interest in the
26information. Before invoking this exemption, the public body

 

 

SB2178- 10 -LRB103 28325 HEP 54704 b

1shall extend to the person making the request an opportunity
2to confer with it in an attempt to reduce the request to
3manageable proportions. If any public body responds to a
4categorical request by stating that compliance would unduly
5burden its operation and the conditions described above are
6met, it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons why it
7would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance
8will so burden the operations of the public body. Such a
9response shall be treated as a denial of the request for
10information.
11    Repeated requests from the same person for the same
12records that are unchanged or identical to records previously
13provided or properly denied under this Act shall be deemed
14unduly burdensome under this provision.
15    (h) Each public body may promulgate rules and regulations
16in conformity with the provisions of this Section pertaining
17to the availability of records and procedures to be followed,
18including:
19        (i) the times and places where such records will be
20    made available, and
21        (ii) the persons from whom such records may be
22    obtained.
23    (i) The time periods for compliance or denial of a request
24to inspect or copy records set out in this Section shall not
25apply to requests for records made for a commercial purpose,
26requests by a recurrent requester, or voluminous requests.

 

 

SB2178- 11 -LRB103 28325 HEP 54704 b

1Such requests shall be subject to the provisions of Sections
23.1, 3.2, and 3.6 of this Act, as applicable.
3(Source: P.A. 101-81, eff. 7-12-19.)
 
4    (5 ILCS 140/3.1)
5    Sec. 3.1. Requests for commercial purposes.
6    (a) A public body shall respond to a request for records to
7be used for a commercial purpose within 30 21 working days
8after receipt. The response shall (i) provide to the requester
9an estimate of the time required by the public body to provide
10the records requested and an estimate of the fees to be
11charged, which the public body may require the person to pay in
12full before copying the requested documents, (ii) deny the
13request pursuant to one or more of the exemptions set out in
14this Act, (iii) notify the requester that the request is
15unduly burdensome and extend an opportunity to the requester
16to attempt to reduce the request to manageable proportions, or
17(iv) provide the records requested.
18    (b) Unless the records are exempt from disclosure, a
19public body shall comply with a request within a reasonable
20period considering the size and complexity of the request, and
21giving priority to records requested for non-commercial
22purposes.
23    (c) It is a violation of this Act for a person to knowingly
24obtain a public record for a commercial purpose without
25disclosing that it is for a commercial purpose, if requested

 

 

SB2178- 12 -LRB103 28325 HEP 54704 b

1to do so by the public body.

4    (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 102-982)
5    Sec. 7. Exemptions.
6    (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
7record that contains information that is exempt from
8disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
9that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
10to redact the information that is exempt. The public body
11shall make the remaining information available for inspection
12and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
13be exempt from inspection and copying:
14        (a) Information specifically prohibited from
15    disclosure by federal or State law or rules and

SB2178- 13 -LRB103 28325 HEP 54704 b

2    clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
3    the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
4    individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
5    invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
6    information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
7    reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
8    privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
9    obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
10    that bears on the public duties of public employees and
11    officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
12    privacy.
13        (d) Records in the possession of any public body
14    created in the course of administrative enforcement
15    proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
16    agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the
17    extent that disclosure would:
18            (i) interfere with pending or actually and

20        conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
21        agency that is the recipient of the request;
22            (ii) interfere with active administrative
23        enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body
24        that is the recipient of the request;

2            (iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a
3        confidential source, confidential information
4        furnished only by the confidential source, or persons
5        who file complaints with or provide information to
6        administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or
7        penal agencies; except that the identities of
8        witnesses to traffic accidents, traffic accident
9        reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by
10        agencies of local government, except when disclosure
11        would interfere with an active criminal investigation
12        conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the
13        request;
14            (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
15        techniques other than those generally used and known
16        or disclose internal documents of correctional
17        agencies related to detection, observation, or
18        investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and
19        disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the
20        agency or public body that is the recipient of the
21        request;
22            (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law
23        enforcement personnel or any other person; or
