			 response in plain language, informing him or her as to whether or not the
			 Agency maintains personal data on that individual, the category and location of
			 the personal data maintained on that individual, and procedures available to
			 review the records.
(b) Except
			 where non-disclosure is required or specifically permitted by law, the
			 Connecticut State Labor Department shall disclose to any person upon written
			 request all personal data concerning that individual which is maintained by the
			 Agency. The procedures for disclosure shall be in accordance with Connecticut
			 General Statutes Sections
			 1-15 through 1-21k.
			 If the personal data is maintained in coded form, the Agency shall transcribe
			 the data into a commonly understandable form before disclosure.
(c) The Connecticut State Labor Department is
			 responsible for verifying the identity of any person requesting access to
			 his/her own personal data.
(d) The
			 Connecticut State Labor Department is responsible for ensuring that disclosure
			 made pursuant to the Personal Data Act is conducted so as not to disclose any
			 personal data concerning persons other than the person requesting the
			 information.
(e) The Connecticut
			 State Labor Department may refuse to disclose to a person medical, psychiatric
			 or psychological data regarding that person if the Department determines that
			 such disclosure would be detrimental to that person. In any case where the
			 Department refuses disclosure, it shall advise the person of his or her right
			 to seek judicial relief pursuant to the Personal Data Act.
(f) If the Connecticut State Labor Department
			 refuses to disclose medical, psychiatric or psychological data to a person
			 based on its determination that disclosure would be detrimental to that person
			 and nondisclosure is not mandated by law, the Department shall, at the written
			 request of such person, permit a qualified medical doctor to review the
			 personal data contained in the person's records to determine if the personal
			 data should be disclosed. If disclosure is recommended by the person's medical
			 doctor, the Department shall disclose the personal data to such person; if
			 nondisclosure is recommended by such person's medical doctor, the Department
			 shall not disclose the personal data and shall inform such person of the
			 judicial relief provided under the Personal Data Act.
(g) The Connecticut State Labor Department
			 shall maintain a complete log of each person, individual, agency or
			 organization who has obtained access to, or to whom disclosure has been made
			 of, personal data under the Personal Data Act, together with the reason for
			 each such disclosure or access. This log must be maintained for not less than
			 five years from the date of such disclosure or access, or for the life of the
			 personal data record, whichever is longer.
