Sec. 703.6. Record request processing

(a) As soon as practicable after receipt of a request for facility or provider agency records, the Justice Center shall notify the applicable facility or provider agency of the request and shall request such facility or provider agency to begin a search for any responsive records.

(b) Within 10 calendar days from the first business day following the receipt of the request for facility or provider agency records, the Justice Center shall issue an acknowledgement of the request, which may include an approximate date upon which the request will be granted or denied, and/or a request for clarification or further particularization of the types of records the requestor is seeking.

(c) Within a reasonable time thereafter, as determined by the complexity of the request, the volume of records, the ease or difficulty for the facility or provider agencies to locate or retrieve records, the need to review records to determine the extent to which they must be disclosed or other circumstances, the Justice Center shall make the records available to the person requesting them or deny the request for the records.
