Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
When a request is made to inspect or copy a record
				  that contains information that is otherwise exempt from disclosure under this
				  Section, but also contains information that is not exempt from disclosure, the
				  Agency may elect to redirect the information that is exempt. The Agency shall
				  make the remaining information available for inspection and copying.
(Section 7(1) of FOIA)
a)
Subject to this requirement and Section 7 of FOIA, the following shall
				be exempt from inspection and copying:
1)
Information specifically
				prohibited from disclosure by federal or State law or rules and regulations
				implementing federal or State law;
(Section 7(1)(a) of FOIA)
2)
Private information, unless
				disclosure is required by another provision of FOIA, a State or federal law or
				a court order;
(Section 7(1)(b) of FOIA)
3)
Files, documents, and other data
				or databases maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and
				specifically designed to provide information to one or more law enforcement
				agencies regarding the physical or mental status of one or more individual
				subject
s; (Section 7(1)(b-5) of FOIA)
4)
Personal information contained
				within 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 information that is highly personal
				or objectionable to a reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
				privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in obtaining the information.
				The disclosure of information that bears on the public duties of public
				employees and officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
				privacy;
(Section 7(1)(c) of FOIA)
5)
Records in the possession of any
				public body created in the course of administrative enforcement proceedings,
				and any law enforcement or correctional agency for law enforcement purposes,
				but only to the extent that disclosure would:
A)
Interfere with pending or actually
				and reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings conducted by any law
				enforcement or correctional agency that is the recipient of the
				request;
B)
Interfere with active administrative enforcement proceedings conducted
				by the public body that is the recipient of the request;
C)
Create a substantial likelihood
				that a person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial
				hearing;
D)
Unavoidably disclose the identity of a confidential source,
				confidential information furnished only by the confidential source, or persons
				who file complaints with or provide information to administrative,
				investigative, law enforcement, or penal agencies; except that the Agency will
				provide traffic accident reports, the identities of witnesses to traffic
				accidents, and rescue reports, except when disclosure would interfere with an
				active criminal investigation;
E)
Disclose unique or specialized
				investigative techniques other than those generally used and known, or disclose
				internal documents of correctional agencies related to detection, observation
				or investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and disclosure would
				result in demonstrable harm to the Agency;
F)
Endanger the life or physical
				safety of law enforcement personnel or any other person; or
G)
Obstruct an ongoing criminal
				investigation by the Agency;
(Section 7(1)(d) of FOIA)
6)
Preliminary drafts,
				notes, recommendations, memoranda and other records in which opinions are
				expressed, or policies or actions are formulated, except that a specific record
				or relevant portion of a record shall not be exempt when the record is publicly
				cited and identified by the head of the Agency. The exemption provided in
				this
subsection (a)(10)

7)
Trade secrets and commercial or
				financial information obtained from a person or business where the trade
				secrets or commercial or financial information are furnished under a claim that
				they are proprietary, privileged or confidential, and that disclosure of the
				trade secrets or commercial or financial information would cause competitive
				harm to the person or business, and only insofar as the claim directly applies
				to the records requested. All trade secrets and commercial or financial
				information obtained by a public body, including a public pension fund, from a
				private equity fund or a privately held company within the investment portfolio
				of a private equity fund as a result of either investing or evaluating a
				potential investment of public funds in a private equity fund. The exemption
				contained in this
subsection (a)(11)
does not apply to the
				aggregate financial performance information of a private equity fund, nor to
				the identity of the fund's managers or general partners. The exemption
				contained in this
subsection (a)(11)
does not apply to the
				identity of a privately held company within the investment portfolio of a
				private equity fund, unless the disclosure of the identity of a privately held
				company may cause competitive harm. Nothing in this
subsection (a)(11)
shall be construed to prevent a person or business from consenting to
				disclosure;
(Section 7(1)(g) of FOIA)
8)
Proposals and bids for any
				contract, grant, or agreement, including information that if it were disclosed
				would frustrate procurement or give an advantage to any person proposing to
				enter into a contract or agreement with the body, until an award or final
				selection is made. Information prepared by or for the body in preparation of a
				bid solicitation shall be exempt until an award or final selection is
				made;

				geographic systems, designs, drawings and research data obtained or produced by
				the Agency when disclosure could reasonably be expected to produce private gain

				news media as defined in

				internal audits of the Agency;
