(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.
