223	223	9 Sec. 7. Exemptions.
224	224	10 (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
225	225	11 record that contains information that is exempt from
226	226	12 disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
227	227	13 that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect

231	231	17 be exempt from inspection and copying:

253	253	4 (c) Personal information contained within public
254	254	5 records, the disclosure of which would constitute a
255	255	6 clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless

258	258	9 invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
259	259	10 information that is highly personal or objectionable to a

262	262	13 obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
263	263	14 that bears on the public duties of public employees and
264	264	15 officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
265	265	16 privacy.

267	267	18 created in the course of administrative enforcement
268	268	19 proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
269	269	20 agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the
270	270	21 extent that disclosure would:
271	271	22 (i) interfere with pending or actually and
272	272	23 reasonably contemplated law enforcement proceedings
273	273	24 conducted by any law enforcement or correctional
274	274	25 agency that is the recipient of the request;

295	295	10 administrative, investigative, law enforcement, or
296	296	11 penal agencies; except that the identities of
297	297	12 witnesses to traffic accidents, traffic accident
298	298	13 reports, and rescue reports shall be provided by
299	299	14 agencies of local government, except when disclosure
300	300	15 would interfere with an active criminal investigation
301	301	16 conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the
302	302	17 request;
303	303	18 (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
304	304	19 techniques other than those generally used and known
305	305	20 or disclose internal documents of correctional
306	306	21 agencies related to detection, observation, or
307	307	22 investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and
308	308	23 disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the
309	309	24 agency or public body that is the recipient of the

326	326	5 enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic

328	328	7 that is the recipient of the request did not create the

770	770	17 (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
771	771	18 record that contains information that is exempt from
772	772	19 disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
773	773	20 that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
774	774	21 to redact the information that is exempt. The public body
775	775	22 shall make the remaining information available for inspection
776	776	23 and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
777	777	24 be exempt from inspection and copying:

798	798	10 mental status of one or more individual subjects.
799	799	11 (c) Personal information contained within public
800	800	12 records, the disclosure of which would constitute a
801	801	13 clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
802	802	14 the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
803	803	15 individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
804	804	16 invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
805	805	17 information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
806	806	18 reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
807	807	19 privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
808	808	20 obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
809	809	21 that bears on the public duties of public employees and
810	810	22 officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
811	811	23 privacy.
