§ 1-5.
Purpose. The purpose of this Act is to improve the safety and security of Illinois judicial officers to ensure they are able to administer justice fairly without fear of personal reprisal from individuals affected by the decisions they make in the course of carrying out their public function. This Act is not intended to restrain a judicial officer from independently making public his or her own personal information. Additionally, no government agency, person, business, or association has any obligation under this Act to protect the privacy of a judicial officer's personal information until the judicial officer makes a written request that his or her personal information not be publicly posted. Nothing in this Act shall be construed to impair free access to decisions and opinions expressed by judicial officers in the course of carrying out their public functions.
