13             (b)  Information   that,   if    disclosed,    would

18        of public employees and officials shall not be considered
19        an  invasion  of  personal privacy.  Information exempted

19        issued  to minorities and proportion of minorities in the
20        population.
21             (4)  A disparity among the officers of the same  law
22        enforcement  agency with regard to the number of minority
23        drivers or passengers being stopped in a given area.
24             (5)  A disparity between the frequency  of  searches
25        performed  on  minority  drivers  and  the  frequency  of
26        searches performed on non-minority drivers.
27        (f)  Any    law    enforcement   officer   identification
28    information or  driver  identification  information  that  is

31    purposes of fulfilling the requirements of this Section shall
32    be   confidential  and  exempt  from  public  inspection  and

10    consultation  with  law  enforcement agencies, officials, and
11    organizations,  including  Illinois  chiefs  of  police,  the
12    Department   of   State   Police,   the   Illinois   Sheriffs
13    Association, and the Chicago Police Department, and community
14    groups  and  other  experts,  shall  undertake  a  study   to
15    determine the best use of technology to collect, compile, and

17    this Section. The Department shall report  its  findings  and
18    recommendations  to  the Governor and the General Assembly by
19    March 1, 2004.
