(a) Requirement that a judicial officer make a written request. No government agency, person, business, or association shall be found to have violated any provision of this Act if the judicial officer fails to submit a written request calling for the protection of the officer's personal information. (b) Written request procedure. A written request shall be valid if: (1) The judicial officer sends a written request directly to a government agency, person, business, or association; or (2) If the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts has a policy and procedure for a state judicial officer to file the written request with the Administrative Office to notify government agencies, the state judicial officer may send the written request to the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts. In each quarter of a calendar year, the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts shall provide a list of all state judicial officers who have submitted a written request to it, to the appropriate officer with ultimate supervisory authority for a government agency. The officer shall promptly provide a copy of the list to any and all government agencies under his or her supervision. Receipt of the written request list compiled by the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts by a government agency shall constitute a written request to that Agency for the purposes of this Act. (c) A representative from the judicial officer's employer may submit a written request on the judicial officer's behalf, provided that the judicial officer gives written consent to the representative and provided that the representative agrees to furnish a copy of that consent when a written request is made. The representative shall submit the written request as provided in subsection (b) of this Section. (d) Information to be included in the written request. A judicial officer's written request shall specify what personal information shall be maintained private. If a judicial officer wishes to identify a secondary residence as a home address as that term is defined in this Act, the designation shall be made in the written request. A judicial officer shall disclose the identity of the officer's immediate family and indicate that the personal information of these family members shall also be excluded to the extent that it could reasonably be expected to reveal the personal information of the judicial officer. (e) Duration of the written request. A judicial officer's written request is valid until the judicial officer provides the government agency, person, business, or association with written permission to release the private information. A judicial officer's written request expires on death.
