IL HB3953

Amends the Private College Campus Police Act to require private college campus police departments to make certain records available for public inspection and copying when those records relate to officers exercising municipal peace officer or county sheriff powers

Records subject to disclosure include traffic stop data (date, time, location, reason, race/gender of person stopped), department directives, daily crime logs required under the federal Clery Act, arrest reports, police radio communications, and campus crime statistics

Exempts from disclosure records unrelated to law enforcement powers, employment/disciplinary matters (unless discipline resulted from officer conduct), labor negotiations, wages, insurance, ongoing investigations, student records protected by FERPA, juvenile arrest records, building access records, security camera footage, and non-criminal incident reports

Establishes a fee structure allowing no charge for the first 50 pages of black and white copies, with a maximum of 15 cents per page thereafter, and requires departments to respond to requests within 5 business days (extendable by 5 additional days)

Allows persons denied access to records to file a complaint with the Attorney General's Public Access Counselor within 60 days, who must issue a binding opinion within 60 days that is subject to circuit court review
