2changing Section 7 as follows:
 
3    (5 ILCS 140/7)  (from Ch. 116, par. 207)
4    Sec. 7. Exemptions.
5    (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
6record that contains information that is exempt from disclosure
7under this Section, but also contains information that is not
8exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect to redact the
9information that is exempt. The public body shall make the
10remaining information available for inspection and copying.
11Subject to this requirement, the following shall be exempt from
12inspection and copying:
13        (a) Information specifically prohibited from
14    disclosure by federal or State law or rules and regulations

09900HB3289ham002- 10 -LRB099 07563 RLC 33852 a

4    subjects of the information. "Unwarranted invasion of
5    personal privacy" means the disclosure of information that
6    is highly personal or objectionable to a reasonable person
7    and in which the subject's right to privacy outweighs any
8    legitimate public interest in obtaining the information.

10    duties of public employees and officials shall not be
11    considered an invasion of personal privacy.
12        (d) Records in the possession of any public body
13    created in the course of administrative enforcement
14    proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
15    agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the extent

17            (i) interfere with pending or actually and

19        conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
20        agency that is the recipient of the request;
21            (ii) interfere with active administrative
22        enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body
23        that is the recipient of the request;

2        confidential source, confidential information
3        furnished only by the confidential source, or persons

6        penal agencies; except that the identities of
7        witnesses to traffic accidents, traffic accident
8        reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by

10        would interfere with an active criminal investigation
11        conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the
12        request;
13            (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
14        techniques other than those generally used and known or
15        disclose internal documents of correctional agencies

18        result in demonstrable harm to the agency or public

20            (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law
21        enforcement personnel or any other person; or

2        disclosure is consented to in writing by the individual
3        subjects of the information.
4        (d-5) A law enforcement record created for law
5    enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic
6    record management system if the law enforcement agency that
7    is the recipient of the request did not create the record,
8    did not participate in or have a role in any of the events
9    which are the subject of the record, and only has access to

11    system.

14    trade secrets or commercial or financial information would
15    cause competitive harm to the person or business, and only
16    insofar as the claim directly applies to the records
17    requested.
18        The information included under this exemption includes
19    all trade secrets and commercial or financial information
20    obtained by a public body, including a public pension fund,

2    general partners. The exemption contained in this item does
3    not apply to the identity of a privately held company

16    preparation of a bid solicitation shall be exempt until an
17    award or final selection is made.
18        (i) Valuable formulae, computer geographic systems,
19    designs, drawings and research data obtained or produced by
20    any public body when disclosure could reasonably be
21    expected to produce private gain or public loss. The
22    exemption for "computer geographic systems" provided in
23    this paragraph (i) does not extend to requests made by news
24    media as defined in Section 2 of this Act when the
25    requested information is not otherwise exempt and the only
