The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a state statute (5 ILCS 140/1) that provides the public access to government documents and records. The law provides that a person can ask a public body for a copy of its records and the public body must provide those records, unless there is an exemption in the statute that protects those records from disclosure.
Illinois FOIA FAQs can be found at the Illinois Attorney General's website.
Check our website for the information you are looking for, you may find out without having to submit a FOIA request. You can use the search feature, or look at the commonly requested information linked below:
