FOIA Request to Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation Regarding List of Registered Auctioneers on January 29, 2025.
As part of our ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Prairie State Wire have sent a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. The request specifically seeks access to records pertaining to auctioneers registered with the department.
The requested information includes detailed fields such as the auctioneer's name, license number, DBA (Doing Business As), address, city, state, status, issued date, and expiration date. We believe that this information is crucial in holding public institutions accountable and providing transparency to the public.
As a media organization committed to gathering and reporting news for public consumption, we have requested that any fees associated with this FOIA request be waived. This is in line with our role as media professionals who are tasked with disseminating important information to the public.
We look forward to receiving a prompt response from the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation regarding this matter. Our goal is always to ensure that we are providing our readers with the most up-to-date and accurate information possible about local government affairs.
