Sec. 6. Dissemination time frames and priorities.

(A) The Illinois State Police's duty and obligation to furnish criminal history record information to peace officers and criminal justice agencies shall take precedence over any requirement of this Act to furnish conviction information to non-criminal justice agencies or to the public. When, in the judgment of the Director, such duties and obligations are being fulfilled in a timely manner, the Illinois State Police shall furnish conviction information to requesters in accordance with the provisions of this Act. The Illinois State Police may give priority to requests for conviction information from non-criminal justice agencies over other requests submitted pursuant to this Act.

(B) The Illinois State Police shall attempt to honor requests for conviction information made pursuant to this Act in the shortest time possible. Subject to the dissemination priorities of subsection (A) of this Section, the Illinois State Police shall respond to a request for conviction information within 2 weeks from receipt of a request.
