If your total photocopies exceed 400, you will be charged $0.25 per copy for all copies (e.g., 401 = $100.25). Microfilm copies will be charged at the rate of $0.50 per copy. Payment may be in the form of check or money order. Credit cards are not accepted. Checks are to be made payable to "Treasurer -- State of Illinois". No copies may be taken until payment is received. (State agencies, constitutional officers and members of the General Assembly are exempt from paying fees per state regulations.)
2. You may bring your own machine to copy the needed information.
3. You may contract with a copy service to either copy or scan the entire paper file(s) requested; or schedule a file review, tag relevant documents and have a copy service copy them. All documents must be copied at our office located at 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield. Microfilm can be copied by FOIA staff (microfilm to microfilm only).
