Ill. Admin. Code tit. 2, § 2175.320 - Requests for Information
a) Informal
requests for information may be made to any Board office. Informal requests
will be filled promptly upon receipt of the request. However, where a request
for information maintained by the Clerk's Office is made at a Board office
other than the Chicago office, some delay may be necessary to allow for the
Clerk's Office to provide the material. Inspection of documents can only take
place at the Clerk's Office.
b)
FOIA Requests:
1) A formal request for
information under FOIA must state that it is a formal request under FOIA. The
formal request must be addressed to the Board's FOI officer, who:
A) Notes the date the public body receives
the written request;
B) Computes
the day on which the period for response will expire and makes a notation of
that date on the written request;
C) Maintains an electronic or paper copy of a
written request, including all documents submitted with the request, until the
request has been complied with or denied; and
D) Provides a copy to the Clerk's Office to
create a file for the retention of the original request, a copy of the
response, a record of written communications with the requester, and a copy of
other communications.
2)
The request must be submitted in writing and may be submitted by electronic
mail (PCB.FOIA@illinois.gov), fax (312-814-3669), U. S. Mail, or special
carrier.
3) The Board will either
comply with or deny a request for public records within 5 business days after
its receipt of the request, unless the time for response is properly extended
under Section 3(e) of FOIA [5 ILCS 140/3(e)
].
4) If denied, the requests will
be denied under Section 7 and 7.5 of FOIA [5 ILCS 140/7
and 7.5]. Upon a decision to deny a request, the FOI officer shall notify the
requester in writing of the decision and provide:
A) The reasons for denial, including a
detailed basis for the exemption claimed,
B) the names and titles or positions of each
person responsible for the denial,
C) Information on the right to review by the
Public Access Counselor, and include the address and phone number for the
Public Access Counselor, and
