Civil Court
FOIA
Plaintiff filed suit for injunctive relief after Joliet PD denied request under FOIA, seeking disciplinary history for employee. The prohibition on disclosure of disciplinary records more than 4 years old, in Section 8 of Personnel Record Review Act, is applicable to FOIA requests and such records are exempt from FOIA. The specific language of FOIA must take precedence over general construction guidance in Section 11 of the Review Act. (CARTER and WRIGHT, concurring.)
