HB2421 amends the Illinois Freedom of Information Act to expand exemptions for certain law enforcement and criminal justice records. Specifically, it exempts law enforcement records created for law enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic record management system if the law enforcement agency or criminal justice agency that is the recipient of the request did not create the record. The exemption applies if disclosure would result in the risk of harm to any person or the risk of an escape from a jail or correctional institution or facility.
