The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is a state statute that gives the public the right to access government documents and records. The premise behind FOIA is that the public has a right to know what the government is doing. The law states 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).

You can learn more about the FOIA at the Illinois Attorney General's Office web site.
