Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau
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.

    Sec. 6. Dissemination time frames and priorities.
    (A) The Illinois State Police's duty and obligation to furnish criminal history record information to peace officers and criminal justice agencies shall take precedence over any requirement of this Act to furnish conviction information to non-criminal justice agencies or to the public. When, in the judgment of the Director, such duties and obligations are being fulfilled in a timely manner, the Illinois State Police shall furnish conviction information to requesters in accordance with the provisions of this Act. The Illinois State Police may give priority to requests for conviction information from non-criminal justice agencies over other requests submitted pursuant to this Act.
    (B) The Illinois State Police shall attempt to honor requests for conviction information made pursuant to this Act in the shortest time possible. Subject to the dissemination priorities of subsection (A) of this Section, the Illinois State Police shall respond to a request for conviction information within 2 weeks from receipt of a request.
