FOIA section 7.5(yy)

FOIA

5 ILCS 140/7.5(yy). Section 7.5 overview: A second exemptions list, but instead of describing what's exempt directly, it just points to about 50 OTHER Illinois statutes that separately make certain records confidential (library records, organ-transplant board applications, sexually-transmitted-infection records, and many more) -- those other laws' confidentiality rules get pulled into FOIA through this section.
