(b) A person to whom disclosure of a foster parent’s name, address, or telephone number is made under this Section shall not redisclose that information except as provided in this Act or the Juvenile Court Act of 1987. Any person who knowingly and willfully rediscloses a foster parent’s name, address, or telephone number in violation of this Section is guilty of a Class A misdemeanor.
