PAC Finds Public Body in Violation of FOIA For Not Responding to Request


The Public Access Counselor of the Illinois Attorney General's office released its 3rd binding opinion for 2019 last week. In PAC Op. 19-003, the PAC found a public body in violation for FOIA for failing to respond to a FOIA request. As we have learned from a number of similar binding opinions, it is a violation of FOIA to not respond to a FOIA request within the statutory time-frame (5 business days unless the request is for commercial purposes).
