Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(20 ILCS 2635/17) (from Ch. 38, par. 1617)

Sec. 17. Administrative sanctions.

The Illinois State Police shall refuse to
comply with any request to furnish conviction information maintained in its
files, if the requester has not acted in accordance with the requirements
of this Act or rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto.  The
requester may appeal such a refusal by the Illinois State Police to the Director.
Upon written application by the requester, the Director shall hold a
hearing to determine whether dissemination of the requested information
would be in violation of this Act or rules and regulations issued
pursuant to it or other federal or State law pertaining to the collection,
maintenance or dissemination of criminal history record information.  When
the Director finds such a violation, the Illinois State Police shall be prohibited
from disseminating conviction information to the requester, under such
terms and conditions and for such periods of time as the Director deems
appropriate.
