Springfield, IL On July 26, 2010, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn issued a partial veto for the controversial Illinois House Bill 5154 which would have exempted all governmental employee evaluations from release under the Illinois Freedom of Information Act. The current proposal by Quinn would only exempt performance evaluations of police and law enforcement personal, instead of all governmental employees. Justifying his veto, Quinn told the press, “With this change, I am ensuring and promoting public safety while maintaining the integrity of the criminal justice system,” he added. “At the same time, Illinois’ new sunshine laws will be give time to work without significant amendments.”^[1] The proposal, which closely resembles Senate Bill 3040 which was rejected by the legislature in favor of broader exemptions, still requires approval from the state legislature.
