Section 132F-168-040. Review of denials of public records.
Latest version.
- (1) Petition for internal administrative review of denial of access. Any person who objects to the initial denial or partial denial of a records request may petition in writing (including e-mail) to the public records officer for a review of that decision. The petition shall include a copy of or reasonably identify the written statement by the public records officer or designee denying the request.(2) Consideration of petition for review. The public records officer shall promptly provide the petition and any other relevant information to the appropriate vice-chancellor. That person will immediately consider the petition and either affirm or reverse the denial within two business days following the Seattle College District VI's receipt of the petition, or within such other time as mutually agreed upon by the Seattle College District VI and the requestor.(3) Review by the attorney general's office. Pursuant to RCW 42.56.530, if the Seattle College District VI denies a requestor access to public records because it claims the record is exempt in whole or in part from disclosure, the requestor may request the attorney general's office to review the matter. The attorney general has adopted rules on such requests in WAC 44-06-160.(4) Judicial review. Any person may obtain court review of denials of public records requests pursuant to RCW 42.56.550 at the conclusion of two business days after the initial denial regardless of any internal administrative appeal.[Statutory Authority: RCW 28B.50.140(13) and 42.56.040.
