(a) If the division denies a request for access to a personal record or denies an individual's request to correct the individual's personal record, the affected person may request a review of the decision of the division. A request for review shall be filed with the office of the director within twenty working days after the date of the division's denial, and shall explain why the person believes that the division's determination is erroneous.

(b) Within thirty working days after receipt of the request for review of the division's decision, the director or the director's designee shall respond to the request either by ordering a correction of or access to the record and so notifying the requesting individual, or by informing the requesting individual that the division's decision will not be changed and why it will not be changed. If the director or the director's designee affirms the division's refusal to correct the record or refusal to grant access to the record, the director or the director's designee shall inform the individual of the right to seek judicial review of the department's decision pursuant to section 92E-11, HRS, and shall permit the individual to submit, for inclusion in the record, a concise statement of the reasons why the individual believes the file should be corrected.
