    Default Re: Subpoena Closed Session Minutes of Public Body Can They Refuse

    You are not likely going to get those recordings or minutes of the closed sessions because of the IL Open Public Meetings Act unless this suit is about enforcing the Open Public Meetings Act.

    (e) Unless the public body has made a determination that the verbatim recording no longer requires confidential treatment or otherwise consents to disclosure, the verbatim record of a meeting closed to the public shall not be open for public inspection or subject to discovery in any administrative or judicial proceeding other than one brought to enforce this Act.
    Bolding added.

    Sec. 2.06. Minutes; right to speak.

    Default Re: Subpoena Closed Session Minutes of Public Body Can They Refuse

    Just Did some reading and seems like some cases they do allow "The court held that the importance of the information outweighed the policies behind the Illinois Open Meetings Act." and the case was about employment so I guess sometimes the court will rule they can be looked at in camera.
