Section 1002.70  Public Records

a)         Subject to the federal Driver's Privacy Protection Act (18 USC 2721 et seq.) and 625 ILCS 5/2-123, the drivers lists, title lists and vehicle lists, and lists of purchasers of these lists, are public records and may be examined and purchased for the appropriate fees for a legitimate and lawful purpose and use.

b)         The Secretary may sell the lists in their entirety on the medium the Secretary deems most economical and efficient, or in any reasonable part, such as by county or counties, age group, zip code groups, make or model of car, restriction codes, license issue data, license expiration data, city, or other governmental or geographic division.  No listing shall be prepared and sold by the Secretary to any person or organization for commercial solicitation purposes.  Lists shall not be available as compiled by any form of driver's license sanction; i.e., suspension, revocation, cancellation, or denial. No list will be prepared and sold by the Secretary for any person or organization for commercial purposes if the request is for the Secretary to extract from a larger group certain persons or types of persons to be solicited by the requestor, when the requestor, by the purchase of the larger group of names, titles, or registrations, could extract the information sought.
