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.

(e) Wilful failure to comply with any Section of this Act
is a petty offense; except that any person who wilfully and maliciously
falsifies any school student record, student permanent record or student
temporary record shall be guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.

(f) Absent proof of malice, no cause of action or claim for relief,
civil or criminal, may be maintained against any school, or employee or
official of a school or person acting at the direction of a school for
any statement made or judgment expressed in any entry to a school student
record of a type which does not violate this Act or the regulations
issued by the State Board pursuant to this Act; provided that this
paragraph (f) does not limit or deny any defense available
under existing law.
