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 11 — Miscellaneous Provisions, Section 1798.68

(a) Information which is permitted to be disclosed under the provisions of subdivision (e), (f), or (o), of Section 1798.24 shall be provided when requested by a district attorney.

A district attorney may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to require disclosure of information when an agency fails or refuses to provide the requested information within 10 working days of a request. The court may require the agency to permit inspection unless the public interest or good cause in withholding such records clearly outweighs the public interest in disclosure.

(b) Disclosure of information to a district attorney under the provisions of this chapter shall effect no change in the status of the records under any other provision of law.

Notes

Requires an agency to provide a district attorney information that the referenced disclosure provisions permit. If the agency fails or refuses within 10 working days, the district attorney may seek a court order; the court may require inspection unless withholding is justified by overriding public interest or good cause, and disclosure does not change the records’ legal status.
