On September 23, 2022, the Public Access Bureau sent the attached letter
requesting a response to the above-referenced Request for Review. As of the date of this letter,
this office has not received a response. Please forward the materials and information requested
as soon as possible. Under section 1.2 of FOIA (5 ILCS 140/1.2 (West 2020)), a public body
asserting that a record is exempt from disclosure has the burden of proving by clear and
convincing evidence that it is exempt. Further, section 9.5(c) of FOIA (5 ILCS 140/9.5(c) (West
2020)) provides that "[w]ithin 7 business days after receipt of the request for review, the public
body shall provide copies of records requested and shall otherwise fully cooperate with the
Public Access Counselor." If we do not receive your response, this office may be compelled to
conclude that you have not met your burden of proving the records are exempt from disclosure.
