Freedom of Information Act (FOIA)
Transparency matters. Under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act (5 ILCS 140), any person has the right to request access to public records and documents held by government agencies. FOIA helps ensure accountability and keeps citizens informed about the workings of their government.
