This report shall include the following information regarding any requests for completion of a certification form under Section 10 of this Act:
- (1) the date of receipt of such request; and
- (2) the date on which the law enforcement agency provided the completed certification form to the requester or provided written notice explaining why the available evidence does not support a finding that the requester is a victim of qualifying criminal activity. If an agency receives no requests for completion of a certification form during a reporting period, the agency shall certify and report that it received no such requests.
- (b) Law enforcement agencies shall not include names or other personally identifying information in any reports required under this Section.
