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

14    which are the subject of the record, and only has access to
15    the record through the shared electronic record management
16    system.
