AN ACT concerning emergency telephone services.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Emergency Telephone System Act is amended
by changing Section 10.1 as follows:
(50 ILCS 750/10.1) (from Ch. 134, par. 40.1)
Sec. 10.1. Confidentiality.
(a) 9-1-1 information consisting of names, addresses and
telephone numbers of telephone customers whose listings are
not published in directories or listed in Directory
Assistance Offices is confidential. Except as provided in
subsection (b), information shall be provided on a
call-by-call basis only for the purpose of responding to
emergency calls. For the purposes of this subsection (a),
"emergency" means a situation in which property or human life
is in jeopardy and the prompt notification of the public
safety agency is essential.
(b) 9-1-1 information, including information described
in subsection (a), may be used by a public safety agency for
the purpose of placing out-going emergency calls.
(c) Nothing in this Section prohibits a municipality
with a population of more than 500,000 from using 9-1-1
information, including information described in subsection
(a), for the purpose of responding to calls made to a
non-emergency telephone system that is under the supervision
and control of a public safety agency and that shares all or
some facilities with an emergency telephone system.
(d) Any public safety agency that uses 9-1-1 information
for the purposes of subsection (b) must establish methods and
procedures that ensure the confidentiality of information as
required by subsection (a).
(e) Divulging confidential information in violation of
this Section is a Class A misdemeanor.
