You may remember the guidance issued in 2011, in which the Office of the Attorney General issued an opinion holding that electronic records relating to the transaction of public business are "public records" within the meaning of the Freedom of Information Act - even then they are generated on a public official's private equipment and/or maintained on personal electronic accounts.

Public Act 97-827 amended the Open Meetings Act to make clear the requirements for posting an agenda at least 48 hours prior to the meeting, adding specifically:

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (oftentimes called "Obama-care" in the media and by politicians on both sides of the aisle), includes among its many provisions, employer "assessments" and excise taxes which will likely change how many employers (including school districts) provide group health insurance or employer contributions on behalf of employees. 

On January 1, 2013, Public Act 97-1104 will become law.  Among other changes, the new law purports to increase and ease the sharing of information between law enforcement and school officials, adds a new section to the Juvenile Court Act (and the School Code) exempting certain discussions from prohibitions against law enforcement communication regarding juvenile offenses.
