Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(20 ILCS 2630/7) (from Ch. 38, par. 206-7)

Sec. 7.

No file or record of the Illinois State Police hereby created shall be
made public, except as provided in the "Illinois Uniform Conviction
Information Act" or other Illinois law or as may be necessary in the
identification of persons suspected or accused of crime and in their trial
for offenses committed after having been imprisoned for a prior offense;
and no information of any character relating to its records shall be given
or furnished by the Illinois State Police to any person, bureau or institution other
than as provided in this Act or other State law, or when a governmental
unit is required by state or federal law to consider such information in
the performance of its duties. Violation of this Section shall constitute a
Class A misdemeanor.

However, if an individual requests the Illinois State Police to release
information as to the existence or nonexistence of any criminal record
he might have, the Illinois State Police shall do so upon determining that the
person for whom the record is to be released is actually the person
making the request.  The Illinois State Police shall establish reasonable fees and
rules to allow an individual to review and correct any criminal history
record information the Illinois State Police may hold concerning that individual upon
verification of the identity of the individual.  Such rulemaking is subject
to the provisions of the Illinois Administrative Procedure Act.
