Each individual shall have the right to inquire and be
notified as to whether the agency maintains a record about himself or
herself. Agencies shall take reasonable steps to assist individuals
in making their requests sufficiently specific.
Any notice sent to an individual which in any way indicates that
the agency maintains any record concerning that individual shall
include the title and business address of the agency official
responsible for maintaining the records, the procedures to be
followed to gain access to the records, and the procedures to be
followed for an individual to contest the contents of these records
unless the individual has received this notice from the agency during
the past year.
In implementing the right conferred by this section, an agency may
specify in its rules or regulations reasonable times, places, and
requirements for identifying an individual who requests access to a
record, and for disclosing the contents of a record.
