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.

Sec. 12.

The Board may examine the books, records and files of any public
institution of higher education, and of any office of state government,
as to matters germane to its responsibilities hereunder, subject only to
laws or regulations pertaining to the confidential nature of information
or data. The officers and employees of all public institutions of higher
education, and of state agencies of government, shall afford the Board,
its members, and authorized agents and representatives, access to all
such books, records and files, and furnish to them such information as
they have relating to the Board's functions and responsibilities. The
Board may hold hearings at such places as it deems desirable.
