(Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 104-300)
Sec. 7. Exemptions.
(1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
record that contains information that is exempt from
disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
to redact the information that is exempt. The public body
shall make the remaining information available for inspection
and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
be exempt from inspection and copying:

maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and

more law enforcement agencies regarding the physical or
mental status of one or more individual subjects.

records, the disclosure of which would constitute a
clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of

that bears on the public duties of public employees and
officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
privacy.
(d) Records in the possession of any public body
created in the course of administrative enforcement

10400SB2713sam001 - 3 - LRB104 15448 BAB 36008 a

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

enforcement proceedings conducted by the public body
that is the recipient of the request;

enforcement personnel or any other person; or
