The Illinois State Police may give priority to requests for conviction information from non-criminal justice agencies over other requests submitted pursuant to this Act.

(B) The Illinois State Police shall attempt to honor requests for conviction information made pursuant to this Act in the shortest time possible. Subject to the dissemination priorities of subsection (A) of this Section, the Illinois State Police shall respond to a request for conviction information within 2 weeks from receipt of a request.
