391	391	2 Notwithstanding any other law, a public body may not grant to
392	392	3 any person or entity, whether by contract, license, or
393	393	4 otherwise, the exclusive right to access and disseminate any
394	394	5 public record as defined in this Act.
395	395	6 (b) Subject to the fee provisions of Section 6 of this Act,
396	396	7 each public body shall promptly provide, to any person who
397	397	8 submits a request, a copy of any public record required to be
398	398	9 disclosed by subsection (a) of this Section and shall certify
399	399	10 such copy if so requested.
400	400	11 (c) Requests for inspection or copies shall be made in
401	401	12 writing and directed to the public body. Written requests may
402	402	13 be submitted to a public body via personal delivery, mail,
403	403	14 telefax, or other means available to the public body. A public
404	404	15 body may honor oral requests for inspection or copying. A
405	405	16 public body may not require that a request be submitted on a
406	406	17 standard form or require the requester to specify the purpose
407	407	18 for a request, except to determine whether the records are
408	408	19 requested for a commercial purpose or whether to grant a
409	409	20 request for a fee waiver. All requests for inspection and
410	410	21 copying received by a public body shall immediately be
411	411	22 forwarded to its Freedom of Information officer or designee.
412	412	23 (d) Each public body shall, promptly, either comply with
413	413	24 or deny a request for public records within 5 business days
414	414	25 after its receipt of the request, unless the time for response
415	415	26 is properly extended under subsections subsection (e) and (f)

428	428	3 request, extend the time for response, or deny a request
429	429	4 within 5 business days after its receipt shall be considered a
430	430	5 denial of the request. A public body that fails to respond to a
431	431	6 request within the requisite periods in this Section but
432	432	7 thereafter provides the requester with copies of the requested
433	433	8 public records may not impose a fee for such copies. A public
434	434	9 body that fails to respond to a request received may not treat
435	435	10 the request as unduly burdensome under subsection (g).
436	436	11 (e) The time for response under this Section may be
437	437	12 extended by the public body for not more than 7 5 business days
438	438	13 from the original due date for any of the following reasons:
439	439	14 (i) the requested records are stored in whole or in
440	440	15 part at other locations than the office having charge of
441	441	16 the requested records;
442	442	17 (ii) the request requires the collection of a
443	443	18 substantial number of specified records;
444	444	19 (iii) the request is couched in categorical terms and
445	445	20 requires an extensive search for the records responsive to
446	446	21 it;
447	447	22 (iv) the requested records have not been located in
448	448	23 the course of routine search and additional efforts are
449	449	24 being made to locate them;
450	450	25 (v) the requested records require examination and
451	451	26 evaluation by personnel having the necessary competence

462	462	1 and discretion to determine if they are exempt from
463	463	2 disclosure under Section 7 of this Act or should be
464	464	3 revealed only with appropriate deletions;
465	465	4 (vi) the request for records cannot be complied with
466	466	5 by the public body within the time limits prescribed by
467	467	6 subsection (d) of this Section without unduly burdening or
468	468	7 interfering with the operations of the public body;
469	469	8 (vii) there is a need for consultation, which shall be
470	470	9 conducted with all practicable speed, with another public
471	471	10 body or among 2 or more components of a public body having
472	472	11 a substantial interest in the determination or in the
473	473	12 subject matter of the request.
474	474	13 The person making a request and the public body may agree
475	475	14 in writing to extend the time for compliance for a period to be
476	476	15 determined by the parties. If the requester and the public
477	477	16 body agree to extend the period for compliance, a failure by
478	478	17 the public body to comply with any previous deadlines shall
479	479	18 not be treated as a denial of the request for the records.
480	480	19 (f) When additional time is required for any of the above
481	481	20 reasons, the public body shall, within 7 5 business days after
482	482	21 receipt of the request, notify the person making the request
483	483	22 of the reasons for the extension and the date by which the
484	484	23 response will be forthcoming. Failure to respond within the
485	485	24 time permitted for extension shall be considered a denial of
486	486	25 the request. A public body that fails to respond to a request

498	498	1 provides the requester with copies of the requested public
499	499	2 records may not impose a fee for those copies. A public body
500	500	3 that requests an extension and subsequently fails to respond
501	501	4 to the request may not treat the request as unduly burdensome
502	502	5 under subsection (g).
503	503	6 (g) Requests calling for all records falling within a
504	504	7 category shall be complied with unless compliance with the
505	505	8 request would be unduly burdensome for the complying public
506	506	9 body and there is no way to narrow the request and the burden
507	507	10 on the public body outweighs the public interest in the
508	508	11 information. Before invoking this exemption, the public body
509	509	12 shall extend to the person making the request an opportunity
510	510	13 to confer with it in an attempt to reduce the request to
511	511	14 manageable proportions. If any public body responds to a
512	512	15 categorical request by stating that compliance would unduly
513	513	16 burden its operation and the conditions described above are
514	514	17 met, it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons why it
515	515	18 would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance
516	516	19 will so burden the operations of the public body. Such a
517	517	20 response shall be treated as a denial of the request for
518	518	21 information.
519	519	22 Repeated requests from the same person for the same
520	520	23 records that are unchanged or identical to records previously
521	521	24 provided or properly denied under this Act shall be deemed
522	522	25 unduly burdensome under this provision.

555	555	22 which the public body shall may require the person to pay in

580	580	12 to do so by the public body.

592	592	24 under the Act respond to a request from a recurrent requester,

649	649	10 within 10 business days after the public body's response was
650	650	11 sent and specify whether the requester would like to amend the
651	651	12 request in such a way that the public body will no longer treat
652	652	13 the request as a voluminous request; (iv) that if the
653	653	14 requester does not respond within 10 business days or if the
654	654	15 request continues to be a voluminous request following the
655	655	16 requester's response, the public body will respond to the
656	656	17 request and assess any fees the public body charges pursuant
657	657	18 to Section 6 of this Act; (v) that the public body has 5
658	658	19 business days after receipt of the requester's response or 5
659	659	20 business days from the last day for the requester to amend his
660	660	21 or her request, whichever is sooner, to respond to the

677	677	3 records, the public body may still charge the requester for
678	678	4 its response pursuant to Section 6 of this Act and the
679	679	5 requester's failure to pay will be considered a debt due and
680	680	6 owing to the public body and may be collected in accordance
681	681	7 with applicable law.
682	682	8 (b) A public body shall provide a person making a
683	683	9 voluminous request 10 business days from the date the public
684	684	10 body's response pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section is
685	685	11 sent to amend the request in such a way that the public body
686	686	12 will no longer treat the request as a voluminous request.
687	687	13 (c) If a request continues to be a voluminous request
688	688	14 following the requester's response under subsection (b) of
689	689	15 this Section or the requester fails to respond, the public
690	690	16 body shall respond within the earlier of 5 business days after
691	691	17 it receives the response from the requester or 5 business days
692	692	18 after the final day for the requester to respond to the public
693	693	19 body's notification under this subsection. The response shall:
694	694	20 (i) provide an estimate of the fees to be charged, which the
695	695	21 public body may require the person to pay in full before
696	696	22 copying the requested documents; (ii) deny the request
697	697	23 pursuant to one or more of the exemptions set out in this Act;
698	698	24 (iii) notify the requester that the request is unduly
699	699	25 burdensome and extend an opportunity to the requester to

712	712	2 (d) The time for response by the public body under
713	713	3 subsection (c) of this Section may be extended by the public
714	714	4 body for not more than 10 business days from the final day for
715	715	5 the requester to respond to the public body's notification
716	716	6 under subsection (c) of this Section for any of the reasons
717	717	7 provided in subsection (e) of Section 3 of this Act.
718	718	8 The person making a request and the public body may agree
719	719	9 in writing to extend the time for compliance for a period to be
720	720	10 determined by the parties. If the requester and the public
721	721	11 body agree to extend the period for compliance, a failure by
722	722	12 the public body to comply with any previous deadlines shall
723	723	13 not be treated as a denial of the request for the records.
724	724	14 (e) A requester shall pay the full fee charged pursuant to
725	725	15 Section 6 of this Act prior to the release of the request by
726	726	16 the public body. If a requester does not pay a fee charged
727	727	17 pursuant to Section 6 of this Act for a voluminous request, the
728	728	18 debt shall be considered a debt due and owing to the public
729	729	19 body and may be collected in accordance with applicable law.
730	730	20 This fee may be charged by the public body even if the
731	731	21 requester fails to accept or collect records the public body
732	732	22 has prepared in response to a voluminous request.

746	746	1 (a) When a person requests a copy of a record maintained in
747	747	2 an electronic format, the public body shall furnish it in the
748	748	3 electronic format specified by the requester, if feasible. If
749	749	4 it is not feasible to furnish the public records in the
750	750	5 specified electronic format, then the public body shall
751	751	6 furnish it in the format in which it is maintained by the
752	752	7 public body, or in paper format at the option of the requester.
753	753	8 A public body may charge the requester for the actual cost of
754	754	9 purchasing the recording medium, whether disc, diskette, tape,
755	755	10 or other medium. If a request is not a request for a commercial
756	756	11 purpose or a voluminous request, a public body may not charge
757	757	12 the requester for the costs of any search for and review of the
758	758	13 records or other personnel costs associated with reproducing
759	759	14 the records. Except to the extent that the General Assembly
760	760	15 expressly provides, statutory fees applicable to copies of
761	761	16 public records when furnished in a paper format shall not be
762	762	17 applicable to those records when furnished in an electronic
763	763	18 format.
764	764	19 (a-5) If a voluminous request is for electronic records
765	765	20 and those records are not in a portable document format (PDF),
766	766	21 the public body may charge up to $20 for not more than 2
767	767	22 megabytes of data, up to $40 for more than 2 but not more than
768	768	23 4 megabytes of data, and up to $100 for more than 4 megabytes
769	769	24 of data. If a voluminous request is for electronic records and
770	770	25 those records are in a portable document format, the public
771	771	26 body may charge up to $20 for not more than 80 megabytes of

783	783	2 160 megabytes of data, and up to $100 for more than 160
784	784	3 megabytes of data. If the responsive electronic records are in
785	785	4 both a portable document format and not in a portable document
786	786	5 format, the public body may separate the fees and charge the
787	787	6 requester under both fee scales.
788	788	7 If a public body imposes a fee pursuant to this subsection
789	789	8 (a-5), it must provide the requester with an accounting of all
790	790	9 fees, costs, and personnel hours in connection with the
791	791	10 request for public records.
792	792	11 (b) Except when a fee is otherwise fixed by statute, each
793	793	12 public body may charge fees reasonably calculated to reimburse
794	794	13 its actual cost for reproducing and certifying public records
795	795	14 and for the use, by any person, of the equipment of the public
796	796	15 body to copy records. No fees shall be charged for the first 50
797	797	16 pages of black and white, letter or legal sized copies
798	798	17 requested by a requester. The fee for black and white, letter
799	799	18 or legal sized copies shall not exceed 15 cents per page. If a
800	800	19 public body provides copies in color or in a size other than
801	801	20 letter or legal, the public body may not charge more than its
802	802	21 actual cost for reproducing the records. In calculating its
803	803	22 actual cost for reproducing records or for the use of the
804	804	23 equipment of the public body to reproduce records, a public
805	805	24 body shall not include the costs of any search for and review
806	806	25 of the records or other personnel costs associated with
807	807	26 reproducing the records, except for commercial requests as

819	819	2 imposed according to a standard scale of fees, established and
820	820	3 made public by the body imposing them. The cost for certifying
821	821	4 a record shall not exceed $1.
822	822	5 (c) Documents shall be furnished without charge or at a
823	823	6 reduced charge, as determined by the public body, if the
824	824	7 person requesting the documents states the specific purpose
825	825	8 for the request and indicates that a waiver or reduction of the
826	826	9 fee is in the public interest. Waiver or reduction of the fee
827	827	10 is in the public interest if the principal purpose of the
828	828	11 request is to access and disseminate information regarding the
829	829	12 health, safety and welfare or the legal rights of the general
830	830	13 public and is not for the principal purpose of personal or
831	831	14 commercial benefit. For purposes of this subsection,
832	832	15 "commercial benefit" shall not apply to requests made by news
833	833	16 media when the principal purpose of the request is to access
834	834	17 and disseminate information regarding the health, safety, and
835	835	18 welfare or the legal rights of the general public. In setting
836	836	19 the amount of the waiver or reduction, the public body may take
837	837	20 into consideration the amount of materials requested and the
838	838	21 cost of copying them.
839	839	22 (d) The imposition of a fee not consistent with
840	840	23 subsections (6)(a) and (b) of this Act constitutes a denial of
841	841	24 access to public records for the purposes of judicial review.
842	842	25 (e) The fee for each abstract of a driver's record shall be

857	857	4 by personnel in searching for and retrieving a requested
858	858	5 record or examining the record for necessary redactions. No
859	859	6 fees shall be charged for the first 2 8 hours spent by

861	861	8 public body may charge the actual cost of retrieving and
862	862	9 transporting public records from an off-site storage facility
863	863	10 when the public records are maintained by a third-party
864	864	11 storage company under contract with the public body. If a
865	865	12 public body imposes a fee pursuant to this subsection (f), it
866	866	13 must provide the requester with an accounting of all fees,
867	867	14 costs, and personnel hours in connection with the request for
868	868	15 public records. The provisions of this subsection (f) apply
869	869	16 only to commercial requests.

874	874	21 record that contains information that is exempt from
875	875	22 disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
876	876	23 that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
877	877	24 to redact the information that is exempt. The public body

890	890	2 be exempt from inspection and copying:
891	891	3 (a) Information specifically prohibited from
892	892	4 disclosure by federal or State law or rules and
893	893	5 regulations implementing federal or State law.
894	894	6 (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required
895	895	7 by another provision of this Act, a State or federal law,
896	896	8 or a court order.
897	897	9 (b-5) Files, documents, and other data or databases
898	898	10 maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and
899	899	11 specifically designed to provide information to one or
900	900	12 more law enforcement agencies regarding the physical or
901	901	13 mental status of one or more individual subjects.
902	902	14 (c) Personal information contained within public
903	903	15 records, the disclosure of which would constitute a
904	904	16 clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
905	905	17 the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
906	906	18 individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
907	907	19 invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
908	908	20 information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
909	909	21 reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
910	910	22 privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
911	911	23 obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
912	912	24 that bears on the public duties of public employees and
913	913	25 officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
914	914	26 privacy.
