Freedom of Information

How do I file a Freedom of Information (FOIA) request? To request information, complete the Online FOIA Request Form.

What happens after I submit a FOIA request?  The Illinois Freedom of Information Act requires agencies to respond within five business days of receipt of a request. A five-day extension is allowed with written notification to the requester. Commercial requests will be complied with within 21 working days. PLEASE NOTE some records may be exempt and will be redacted or denied under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act.
