PART 651 ACCESS TO RECORDS OF THE OFFICE OF THE ILLINOIS STATE TREASURER
SECTION 651.420 REQUESTS FOR RECORDS THAT THE OFFICE OF THE TREASURER CONSIDERS UNDULY BURDENSOME


 

Section 651.420  Requests for Records that the Office of the Treasurer Considers Unduly Burdensome

 

a)         The Office of the Treasurer will fulfill requests calling for all records falling within a category unless compliance with the request would unduly burden the Office of the Treasurer, there is no way to narrow the request, and the burden on the Office of the Treasurer outweighs the public interest in the information.  Before invoking this exemption, the Office of the Treasurer will extend to the requester an opportunity to confer with it in an attempt to reduce the request to manageable proportions.  (Section 3(g) of FOIA)  The amended request must be in writing.

 

b)         If the Office of the Treasurer determines that a request is unduly burdensome, it shall do so in writing, specifying the reasons why it would be unduly burdensome and the extent to which compliance will so burden the operations of the Office of the Treasurer. Such a response shall be treated as a denial of the request for information.  (Section 3(g) of FOIA)

 

c)         Repeated requests for records that are unchanged or identical to records previously provided or properly denied under this Part from the same person shall be deemed unduly burdensome. (Section 3(g) of FOIA)
