5    (5 ILCS 140/7)  (from Ch. 116, par. 207)
6    Sec. 7. Exemptions.
7    (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
8record that contains information that is exempt from disclosure
9under this Section, but also contains information that is not
10exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect to redact the
11information that is exempt. The public body shall make the

15        (a) Information specifically prohibited from
16    disclosure by federal or State law or rules and regulations

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

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

19            (i) interfere with pending or actually and

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

3            (iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a
4        confidential source, confidential information
5        furnished only by the confidential source, or persons

9        witnesses to traffic accidents, traffic accident
10        reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by

16        techniques other than those generally used and known or

20        result in demonstrable harm to the agency or public
21        body that is the recipient of the request;
22            (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law

16    trade secrets or commercial or financial information would
17    cause competitive harm to the person or business, and only
18    insofar as the claim directly applies to the records

17    is made. Information prepared by or for the body in
18    preparation of a bid solicitation shall be exempt until an
19    award or final selection is made.
