1 | AN ACT concerning transportation.
| ||||||
2 | Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
| ||||||
3 | represented in the General Assembly:
| ||||||
4 | Section 5. The Freedom of Information Act is amended by | ||||||
5 | changing Section 7 as follows:
| ||||||
6 | (5 ILCS 140/7)
| ||||||
7 | (Text of Section before amendment by P.A. 102-982 ) | ||||||
8 | Sec. 7. Exemptions.
| ||||||
9 | (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public | ||||||
10 | record that contains information that is exempt from | ||||||
11 | disclosure under this Section, but also contains information | ||||||
12 | that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect | ||||||
13 | to redact the information that is exempt. The public body | ||||||
14 | shall make the remaining information available for inspection | ||||||
15 | and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall | ||||||
16 | be exempt from inspection and copying:
| ||||||
17 | (a) Information specifically prohibited from | ||||||
18 | disclosure by federal or
State law or rules and | ||||||
19 | regulations implementing federal or State law.
| ||||||
20 | (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required | ||||||
21 | by another provision of this Act, a State or federal law, | ||||||
22 | or a court order. | ||||||
23 | (b-5) Files, documents, and other data or databases |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and | ||||||
2 | specifically designed to provide information to one or | ||||||
3 | more law enforcement agencies regarding the physical or | ||||||
4 | mental status of one or more individual subjects. | ||||||
5 | (c) Personal information contained within public | ||||||
6 | records, the disclosure of which would constitute a | ||||||
7 | clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless | ||||||
8 | the disclosure is
consented to in writing by the | ||||||
9 | individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted | ||||||
10 | invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of | ||||||
11 | information that is highly personal or objectionable to a | ||||||
12 | reasonable person and in which the subject's right to | ||||||
13 | privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in | ||||||
14 | obtaining the information. The
disclosure of information | ||||||
15 | that bears on the public duties of public
employees and | ||||||
16 | officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
| ||||||
17 | privacy.
| ||||||
18 | (d) Records in the possession of any public body | ||||||
19 | created in the course of administrative enforcement
| ||||||
20 | proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional | ||||||
21 | agency for
law enforcement purposes,
but only to the | ||||||
22 | extent that disclosure would:
| ||||||
23 | (i) interfere with pending or actually and | ||||||
24 | reasonably contemplated
law enforcement proceedings | ||||||
25 | conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
| ||||||
26 | agency that is the recipient of the request;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (ii) interfere with active administrative | ||||||
2 | enforcement proceedings
conducted by the public body | ||||||
3 | that is the recipient of the request;
| ||||||
4 | (iii) create a substantial likelihood that a | ||||||
5 | person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial | ||||||
6 | hearing;
| ||||||
7 | (iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a | ||||||
8 | confidential source, confidential information | ||||||
9 | furnished only by the confidential source, or persons | ||||||
10 | who file complaints with or provide information to | ||||||
11 | administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or | ||||||
12 | penal agencies; except that the identities of | ||||||
13 | witnesses to traffic accidents, traffic accident | ||||||
14 | reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by | ||||||
15 | agencies of local government, except when disclosure | ||||||
16 | would interfere with an active criminal investigation | ||||||
17 | conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the | ||||||
18 | request;
| ||||||
19 | (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative | ||||||
20 | techniques other than
those generally used and known | ||||||
21 | or disclose internal documents of
correctional | ||||||
22 | agencies related to detection, observation , or | ||||||

24 | disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the | ||||||
25 | agency or public body that is the recipient of the | ||||||
26 | request;
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law | ||||||
2 | enforcement personnel
or any other person; or

4 | by the agency that is the recipient of the request.
| ||||||
5 | (d-5) A law enforcement record created for law | ||||||
6 | enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic | ||||||
7 | record management system if the law enforcement agency | ||||||
8 | that is the recipient of the request did not create the | ||||||
9 | record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the | ||||||
10 | events which are the subject of the record, and only has | ||||||
11 | access to the record through the shared electronic record | ||||||
12 | management system. | ||||||

16 | (Text of Section after amendment by P.A. 102-982 )
| ||||||
17 | Sec. 7. Exemptions.
| ||||||
18 | (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public | ||||||
19 | record that contains information that is exempt from | ||||||
20 | disclosure under this Section, but also contains information | ||||||
21 | that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect | ||||||
22 | to redact the information that is exempt. The public body | ||||||
23 | shall make the remaining information available for inspection | ||||||
24 | and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall | ||||||
25 | be exempt from inspection and copying:
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | (a) Information specifically prohibited from | ||||||
2 | disclosure by federal or
State law or rules and | ||||||
3 | regulations implementing federal or State law.
| ||||||
4 | (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required | ||||||
5 | by another provision of this Act, a State or federal law, | ||||||
6 | or a court order. | ||||||
7 | (b-5) Files, documents, and other data or databases | ||||||
8 | maintained by one or more law enforcement agencies and | ||||||
9 | specifically designed to provide information to one or | ||||||
10 | more law enforcement agencies regarding the physical or | ||||||
11 | mental status of one or more individual subjects. | ||||||
12 | (c) Personal information contained within public | ||||||
13 | records, the disclosure of which would constitute a | ||||||
14 | clearly
unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless | ||||||
15 | the disclosure is
consented to in writing by the | ||||||
16 | individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted | ||||||
17 | invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of | ||||||
18 | information that is highly personal or objectionable to a | ||||||
19 | reasonable person and in which the subject's right to | ||||||
20 | privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in | ||||||
21 | obtaining the information. The
disclosure of information | ||||||
22 | that bears on the public duties of public
employees and | ||||||
23 | officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
| ||||||
24 | privacy.
| ||||||
25 | (d) Records in the possession of any public body | ||||||
26 | created in the course of administrative enforcement
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional | ||||||
2 | agency for
law enforcement purposes,
but only to the | ||||||
3 | extent that disclosure would:
| ||||||
4 | (i) interfere with pending or actually and | ||||||
5 | reasonably contemplated
law enforcement proceedings | ||||||
6 | conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
| ||||||
7 | agency that is the recipient of the request;
| ||||||
8 | (ii) interfere with active administrative | ||||||
9 | enforcement proceedings
conducted by the public body | ||||||
10 | that is the recipient of the request;
| ||||||
11 | (iii) create a substantial likelihood that a | ||||||
12 | person will be deprived of a fair trial or an impartial | ||||||
13 | hearing;
| ||||||
14 | (iv) unavoidably disclose the identity of a | ||||||
15 | confidential source, confidential information | ||||||
16 | furnished only by the confidential source, or persons | ||||||
17 | who file complaints with or provide information to | ||||||
18 | administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or | ||||||
19 | penal agencies; except that the identities of | ||||||
20 | witnesses to traffic crashes, traffic crash reports, | ||||||
21 | and rescue reports shall be provided by agencies of | ||||||
22 | local government, except when disclosure would | ||||||
23 | interfere with an active criminal investigation | ||||||
24 | conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the | ||||||
25 | request;
| ||||||
26 | (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative |
| |||||||
| |||||||

those generally used and known | ||||||
2 | or disclose internal documents of
correctional | ||||||

incidents of crime or misconduct, and | ||||||
5 | disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the | ||||||
6 | agency or public body that is the recipient of the | ||||||
7 | request;
| ||||||
8 | (vi) endanger the life or physical safety of law | ||||||
9 | enforcement personnel

13 | enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic | ||||||
14 | record management system if the law enforcement agency | ||||||
15 | that is the recipient of the request did not create the | ||||||
16 | record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the | ||||||
17 | events which are the subject of the record, and only has | ||||||
18 | access to the record through the shared electronic record | ||||||
19 | management system. | ||||||
