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 2635/11

(20 ILCS 2635/11) (from Ch. 38, par. 1611)

Sec. 11.

Dissemination requests not based upon fingerprint
identification.

(A) When a requester is not legally mandated to submit
positive fingerprint identification to the Illinois State Police or when a requester
is precluded from submitting positive fingerprint identification to the Illinois State Police
 due to exigency, an appropriate warning shall be issued by the Illinois State Police
 indicating that the information furnished cannot be identified
with certainty as pertaining to the individual named in the request and may
only be relied upon as being accurate and complete if the requester has
first complied with the requirements of subsection (B) of Section 7.

(B) If the identifying information submitted by the requester to the Illinois State Police
 corresponds to more than one individual found in the files
maintained by the Illinois State Police, the Illinois State Police shall not disclose the
information to the requester, unless it is determined by the Illinois State Police 
that dissemination is still warranted due to exigency or to administer the
criminal laws.  In such instances, the Illinois State Police may require the requester
to submit additional identifying information or fingerprints in the form
and manner prescribed by the Illinois State Police.
