Just a quick heads up to Illinois FOIA Officers – the Illinois Public Access Counselor (PAC) has changed the PAC’s email address so you should update your FOIA forms and other communications to use the updated email address. As you know, Section 9 of FOIA requires that every notice of denial (full or partial denial) must inform the requester of the right to review by the PAC and provide the contact information of the PAC. Below is the updated PAC contact information to update your forms and responses, and to use in any future communication with the PAC:

Leah Bartlett, Public Access Counselor
