[edit] Criticism of the bill

Due to the pending legislation, numerous organizations have filed requests for all past employee evaluations. these requests have met with a great deal fo resistance from offices who find the request time consuming and hassling and unions seeking to protect their members information. The Illinois Policy Institute made the requests in early May, attempting to gather the documents so as to make them publicly accessible should the bill be signed into law. Kristina Rasmussen told the press about the results, stating "Some have come back with significant cost requests, (and) others were flat out denied as (being) unduly burdensome”.[4] The Institute has already dropped their request to the Department of Corrections who assessed fees at over $10,000, with a copying fee of only $0.15 per page and the first 50 pages free.
