The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a state statute (5 ILCS 140) that allows the public to access government documents and records. The law provides that a person can ask a public body for a copy of its records on a specific subject, and the public body must provide those records unless there is an exemption in the statute that protects those records from disclosure (for example, records containing information concerning trade secrets or personal privacy). More information on the FOIA statute is available on the
