843	843	6 (1) When a request is made to inspect or copy a public
844	844	7 record that contains information that is exempt from
845	845	8 disclosure under this Section, but also contains information
846	846	9 that is not exempt from disclosure, the public body may elect
847	847	10 to redact the information that is exempt. The public body
848	848	11 shall make the remaining information available for inspection
849	849	12 and copying. Subject to this requirement, the following shall
850	850	13 be exempt from inspection and copying:
851	851	14 (a) Information specifically prohibited from
852	852	15 disclosure by federal or State law or rules and
853	853	16 regulations implementing federal or State law.
854	854	17 (b) Private information, unless disclosure is required

874	874	2 clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, unless
875	875	3 the disclosure is consented to in writing by the
876	876	4 individual subjects of the information. "Unwarranted
877	877	5 invasion of personal privacy" means the disclosure of
878	878	6 information that is highly personal or objectionable to a
879	879	7 reasonable person and in which the subject's right to
880	880	8 privacy outweighs any legitimate public interest in
881	881	9 obtaining the information. The disclosure of information
882	882	10 that bears on the public duties of public employees and
883	883	11 officials shall not be considered an invasion of personal
884	884	12 privacy.

889	889	17 extent that disclosure would:
890	890	18 (i) interfere with pending or actually and

1452	1452	8 a bona fide religious objection to being photographed or to

1454	1454	10 Identification Card may be used for identification purposes in

1499	1499	19 process, and fee for an expedited Illinois Identification
1500	1500	20 Card. If the Secretary of State determines that the volume of
1501	1501	21 expedited identification card requests received on a given day
1502	1502	22 exceeds the ability of the Secretary to process those requests
1503	1503	23 in an expedited manner, the Secretary may decline to provide
1504	1504	24 expedited services, and the additional fee for the expedited
1505	1505	25 service shall be refunded to the applicant.

2535	2535	17 which they are legally entitled, including healthcare,

2539	2539	21 issue drivers' licenses with the word "veteran" appearing on
2540	2540	22 the face of the licenses. This authorization is predicated on

2542	2542	24 other driver's license which identifies an occupation, status,

2567	2567	13 that all drivers, seeking to obtain a commercial driver's
2568	2568	14 license, be afforded an opportunity prior to April 1, 1992, to
2569	2569	15 obtain the license. The Secretary is authorized to extend
2570	2570	16 driver's license expiration dates, and assign specific times,
2571	2571	17 dates and locations where these commercial driver's tests
2572	2572	18 shall be conducted. Any applicant, regardless of the current
2573	2573	19 expiration date of the applicant's driver's license, may be
2574	2574	20 subject to any assignment by the Secretary. Failure to comply
2575	2575	21 with the Secretary's assignment may result in the applicant's
2576	2576	22 forfeiture of an opportunity to receive a commercial driver's
2577	2577	23 license prior to April 1, 1992.
2578	2578	24 (g) The Secretary of State shall designate on a driver's
