13    (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
14record that contains information that is exempt from disclosure
15under this Section, but also contains information that is not
16exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect to redact the

19    considered an invasion of personal privacy.

16        reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by

22        techniques other than those generally used and known or

12    the record through the shared electronic record management
13    system.
14        (e) Records that relate to or affect the security of
15    correctional institutions and detention facilities.
16        (e-5) Records requested by persons committed to the

20        The information included under this exemption includes
21    all trade secrets and commercial or financial information
22    obtained by a public body, including a public pension fund,
23    from a private equity fund or a privately held company
24    within the investment portfolio of a private equity fund as
25    a result of either investing or evaluating a potential
