|
| | SB2210 | - 11 - | LRB099 15836 HEP 40146 b |

12 | | conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
|
13 | | agency that is the recipient of the request;

14 | | (ii) interfere with active administrative |
15 | | enforcement proceedings
conducted by the public body |

17 | | (iii) create a substantial likelihood that a |
18 | | person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial |

12 | | body that is the recipient of the request;
|
13 | | (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law |
14 | | enforcement personnel
or any other person; or

16 | | by the agency that is the recipient of the request.
|
17 | | (d-5) A law enforcement record created for law |
18 | | enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic |
19 | | record management system if the law enforcement agency that |
20 | | is the recipient of the request did not create the record, |
21 | | did not participate in or have a role in any of the events |
22 | | which are the subject of the record, and only has access to |
