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.

410 ILCS 525/12

(410 ILCS 525/12) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 6712)

Sec. 12.

All information contained in the Registry, as well as all
reports issued by the Department, including the annual report, shall be
made available to the public upon request; provided, however, nothing in
this Act permits public disclosure of any information made confidential or
privileged pursuant to this Act or any other statute. Identification or contact of individuals from public reports or data released under the Freedom of Information Act is prohibited. The Director may, by
rule,
establish fees to be charged to persons or organizations other than State
agencies for requested summaries or analyses of data which are not
otherwise included in an annual report.  The fees shall not be more than
the cost to the Department of supplying the requested information. The Department shall make available on its web site non-confidential public use databases for easy and direct access and download by the public.
