CT. readers...Il readers have come up with this summation...I know CT has a "right to know law." Can anyone sum it up? [email protected] in Ford County, Il. IL readers: To my dismay, after reading SO MUCH LEGAL junk, Dan has probably solved the problem. I will quote what he seems to have quoted..... "If you're into legalese, you can view or download a guide to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act put out by the Attorney General at this link: http://www.ag.state.il.us/foia/foiarevised.pdf The following quotation appears on every page of Vital Records information on the clerk's website, along with a description of who the "specific individuals" are: "Under Illinois State Law (410 ILCS 535-Vital Records Act) only specific individuals have legal access to birth, death, or marriage certificates. .......County Clerk's Office will issure certificates to authorized individuals only. To do otherwise is a violation of Illinois Law. Vital Records are not considered Public information, nor are the subject to the Freedom of Information Act." Guess we are out-of-luck.
