Illinois HB2887 amends the Freedom of Information Act to redefine recurrent requesters and extend response times.
Illinois HB2887 amends the Freedom of Information Act by lowering the threshold for a person to be considered a recurrent requester. Under the bill, a recurrent requester is defined as someone who submits a minimum of 40 requests for records to the same public body within 12 months, or a minimum of 10 requests within a 30-day period, or a minimum of 5 individual records to be inspected or copied. Public bodies must respond to requests from recurrent requesters within 30 days, rather than the current 21 days.
