267	267	15 privacy.

270	270	18 proceedings, and any law enforcement or correctional
271	271	19 agency for law enforcement purposes, but only to the
272	272	20 extent that disclosure would:
273	273	21 (i) interfere with pending or actually and

302	302	14 interfere with an active criminal investigation
303	303	15 conducted by the agency that is the recipient of the
304	304	16 request;
305	305	17 (v) disclose unique or specialized investigative
306	306	18 techniques other than those generally used and known
307	307	19 or disclose internal documents of correctional
308	308	20 agencies related to detection, observation, or
309	309	21 investigation of incidents of crime or misconduct, and
310	310	22 disclosure would result in demonstrable harm to the
311	311	23 agency or public body that is the recipient of the
312	312	24 request;

327	327	3 (d-5) A law enforcement record created for law
328	328	4 enforcement purposes and contained in a shared electronic
329	329	5 record management system if the law enforcement agency
330	330	6 that is the recipient of the request did not create the
331	331	7 record, did not participate in or have a role in any of the

812	812	20 (a) A person whose request to inspect or copy a public
813	813	21 record is denied by a public body, except the General Assembly

815	815	23 judicial branch and the components of the judicial branch, may

828	828	1 than 60 days after the date of the final denial. The request
829	829	2 for review must be in writing, signed by the requester, and
830	830	3 include (i) a copy of the request for access to records and
831	831	4 (ii) any responses from the public body.
832	832	5 (b) A person whose request to inspect or copy a public
833	833	6 record is made for a commercial purpose as defined in
834	834	7 subsection (c-10) of Section 2 of this Act may not file a
835	835	8 request for review with the Public Access Counselor. A person
836	836	9 whose request to inspect or copy a public record was treated by
837	837	10 the public body as a request for a commercial purpose under
838	838	11 Section 3.1 of this Act may file a request for review with the
839	839	12 Public Access Counselor for the limited purpose of reviewing
840	840	13 whether the public body properly determined that the request
841	841	14 was made for a commercial purpose.
842	842	15 (b-5) A person whose request to inspect or copy a public
843	843	16 record was treated by a public body, except the General
844	844	17 Assembly and committees, commissions, and agencies thereof and
845	845	18 the judicial branch and the components of the judicial branch,
846	846	19 as a voluminous request under Section 3.6 of this Act may file
847	847	20 a request for review with the Public Access Counselor for the
848	848	21 purpose of reviewing whether the public body properly
849	849	22 determined that the request was a voluminous request.
850	850	23 (c) Upon receipt of a request for review, the Public
851	851	24 Access Counselor shall determine whether further action is
852	852	25 warranted. If the Public Access Counselor determines that the
853	853	26 alleged violation is unfounded, he or she shall so advise the
854	854

864	864	1 requester and the public body and no further action shall be
865	865	2 undertaken. In all other cases, the Public Access Counselor
866	866	3 shall forward a copy of the request for review to the public
867	867	4 body within 7 business days after receipt and shall specify
868	868	5 the records or other documents that the public body shall
869	869	6 furnish to facilitate the review. Within 7 business days after
870	870	7 receipt of the request for review, the public body shall
871	871	8 provide copies of records requested and shall otherwise fully
872	872	9 cooperate with the Public Access Counselor. If a public body
873	873	10 fails to furnish specified records pursuant to this Section,
874	874	11 or if otherwise necessary, the Attorney General may issue a
875	875	12 subpoena to any person or public body having knowledge of or
876	876	13 records pertaining to a request for review of a denial of
877	877	14 access to records under the Act. Records or documents obtained
878	878	15 by the Public Access Counselor from a public body for the
879	879	16 purpose of addressing a request for review under this Section
880	880	17 may not be disclosed to the public, including the requester,
881	881	18 by the Public Access Counselor. These records, while in the
882	882	19 possession of the Public Access Counselor, are exempt under
883	883	20 this Act from disclosure by the Public Access Counselor.
884	884	21 (d) Within 7 business days after it receives a copy of a
885	885	22 request for review and request for production of records from
886	886	23 the Public Access Counselor, the public body may, but is not
887	887	24 required to, answer the allegations of the request for review.
888	888	25 The answer may take the form of a letter, brief, or memorandum.
889	889	26 The Public Access Counselor shall forward a copy of the answer

900	900	1 to the person submitting the request for review, with any
901	901	2 alleged confidential information to which the request pertains
902	902	3 redacted from the copy. The requester may, but is not required
903	903	4 to, respond in writing to the answer within 7 business days and
904	904	5 shall provide a copy of the response to the public body.
905	905	6 (e) In addition to the request for review, and the answer
906	906	7 and the response thereto, if any, a requester or a public body
907	907	8 may furnish affidavits or records concerning any matter
908	908	9 germane to the review.
909	909	10 (f) Unless the Public Access Counselor extends the time by
910	910	11 no more than 30 business days by sending written notice to the
911	911	12 requester and the public body that includes a statement of the
912	912	13 reasons for the extension in the notice, or decides to address
913	913	14 the matter without the issuance of a binding opinion, the
914	914	15 Attorney General shall examine the issues and the records,
915	915	16 shall make findings of fact and conclusions of law, and shall
916	916	17 issue to the requester and the public body an opinion in
917	917	18 response to the request for review within 60 days after its
918	918	19 receipt. The opinion shall be binding upon both the requester
919	919	20 and the public body, subject to administrative review under
920	920	21 Section 11.5.
921	921	22 In responding to any request under this Section 9.5, the
922	922	23 Attorney General may exercise his or her discretion and choose
923	923	24 to resolve a request for review by mediation or by a means
924	924	25 other than the issuance of a binding opinion. The decision not
925	925	26 to issue a binding opinion shall not be reviewable.

936	936	1 Upon receipt of a binding opinion concluding that a
937	937	2 violation of this Act has occurred, the public body shall
938	938	3 either take necessary action immediately to comply with the
939	939	4 directive of the opinion or shall initiate administrative
940	940	5 review under Section 11.5. If the opinion concludes that no
941	941	6 violation of the Act has occurred, the requester may initiate
942	942	7 administrative review under Section 11.5.
943	943	8 A public body that discloses records in accordance with an
944	944	9 opinion of the Attorney General is immune from all liabilities
945	945	10 by reason thereof and shall not be liable for penalties under
946	946	11 this Act.
947	947	12 (g) If the requester files suit under Section 11 with
948	948	13 respect to the same denial that is the subject of a pending
949	949	14 request for review, the requester shall notify the Public
950	950	15 Access Counselor, and the Public Access Counselor shall take
951	951	16 no further action with respect to the request for review and
952	952	17 shall so notify the public body.
953	953	18 (h) The Attorney General may also issue advisory opinions
954	954	19 to public bodies regarding compliance with this Act. A review
955	955	20 may be initiated upon receipt of a written request from the
956	956	21 head of the public body or its attorney, which shall contain
957	957	22 sufficient accurate facts from which a determination can be
958	958	23 made. The Public Access Counselor may request additional
959	959	24 information from the public body in order to assist in the
960	960	25 review. A public body that relies in good faith on an advisory
961	961	26 opinion of the Attorney General in responding to a request is
