California Codes, Civil Code - CIV, Division 3 — Obligations, Part 4 — Obligations Arising from Particular Transactions, Title 1.8 — Personal Data, Chapter 1 — Information Practices Act of 1977, Article 8 — Access to Records and Administrative Remedies, Section 1798.36

Each agency shall permit any individual who disagrees with the refusal of the agency to amend a record to request a review of such refusal by the head of the agency or an official specifically designated by the head of such agency, and, not later than 30 days from the date on which the individual requests such review, complete such review and make a final determination unless, for good cause shown, the head of the agency extends such review period by 30 days. If, after such review, the reviewing official refuses to amend the record in accordance with the request, the agency shall permit the individual to file with the agency a statement of reasonable length setting forth the reasons for the individual’s disagreement.

Notes

Requires an agency to permit an individual whose record-amendment request was denied to seek review by the agency head or designee. The review and final determination must be completed within 30 days after the request, unless extended up to another 30 days for good cause; if amendment is again refused, the individual may file a statement of disagreement.
