§ 2-1. Publicly posting or displaying a judicial officer's personal information by government agencies.
(a) Government agencies shall not publicly post or display publicly available content that includes a judicial officer's personal information, provided that the government agency has received a written request in accordance with Section 2-10 of this Act that it refrain from disclosing the judicial officer's personal information. After a government agency has received a written request, that agency shall remove the judicial officer's personal information from publicly available content within 5 business days. After the government agency has removed the judicial officer's personal information from publicly available content, the agency shall not publicly post or display the information and the judicial officer's personal information shall be exempt from the Freedom of Information Act unless the government agency has received consent from the judicial officer to make the personal information available to the public.
(b) Redress. If a government agency fails to comply with a written request to refrain from disclosing personal information, the judicial officer may bring an action seeking injunctive or declaratory relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
