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 will 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 will 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 subjects;
				(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 will 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 that is the recipient of the request; (Section 7(1)(d) of
				FOIA)
6) Records that
				relate to or affect the security of correctional institutions and detention
				facilities; (Section 7(1)(e) of FOIA)
7) 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 will not be exempt when the record is publicly
				cited and identified by the head of the Agency. The exemption provided in this
				subsection (a)(7) extends to all those records of officers and agencies of the
				General Assembly that pertain to the preparation of legislative documents;
				(Section 7(1)(f) of FOIA)
8) 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)(8) 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)(8) 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)(8) will be construed to
				prevent a person or business from consenting to disclosure; (Section 7(1)(g) of
				FOIA)
9) 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 contractor 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 will be exempt until an award or final selection is made;
				(Section 7(1)(h) of FOIA)
10)
				Valuable formulae, computer geographic systems, designs, drawings and research
				data obtained or produced by the Agency when disclosure could reasonably be
				expected to produce private gain or public loss. The exemption for "computer
				geographic systems" provided in this subsection (a)(10) does not extend to
				requests made by news media as defined in Section
				1651.102 when the
				requested information is not otherwise exempt and the only purpose of the
				request is to access and disseminate information regarding the health, safety,
				welfare, or legal rights of the general public; (Section 7(1)(i) of
				FOIA)
11) The following information
				pertaining to educational matters:

				including but not limited to power generating and distribution stations and
				other transmission and distribution facilities, water treatment facilities,
				airport facilities, sport stadiums, convention centers, and all government
				owned, operated, or occupied buildings, but only to the extent that disclosure
				would compromise security; (Section 7(1)(k) of FOIA)

				compiled with respect to internal audits of the Agency; (Section 7(1)(m) of
				FOIA)

				security of the system or its data or the security of materials exempt under
				this Section; (Section 7(1)(o) of FOIA)

				relating to that parcel will be exempt except as may be allowed under discovery
				rules adopted by the Illinois Supreme Court. The records, documents and

				which would constitute a clear and present danger to the health or safety of
				the community, but only to the extent that disclosure could reasonably be
				expected to jeopardize the effectiveness of the measures or the safety of the
				personnel who implement them or the public. Information exempt under this
				subsection (a)(23) may include such things as details pertaining to the
