Current through all regulations passed and filed through July 1, 2024
For personal information systems, whether manual or computer
				systems, that contain confidential personal information, the
				 following
				applies:
(A) Criteria for accessing confidential
			 personal information. Personal information systems of the board are managed on
			 a "need-to-know" basis whereby the information owner determines the level of
			 access required for an employee of the board to fulfill the employee's job
			 duties. The determination of access to confidential personal information shall
			 be approved by the employee's supervisor and the information owner prior to
			 providing the employee with access to confidential personal information within
			 a personal information system. The board shall establish procedures for
			 determining a revision to an employee's access to confidential personal
			 information upon a change to that employee's job duties including, but not
			 limited to, transfer or termination. Whenever an employee's job duties no
			 longer require access to confidential personal information in a personal
			 information system, the employee's access to confidential personal information
			 shall be removed.
(B) Individual's
			 request for a list of confidential personal information. Upon the signed
			 written request of any individual for a list of confidential personal
			 information about the individual maintained by the board, the board shall do
			 the following:
(1) Verify the identity of the
			 individual by a method that provides safeguards commensurate with the risk
			 associated with the confidential personal information;
(2) Provide to the individual the list of
			 confidential personal information that does not relate to an investigation
			 about the individual or is otherwise not excluded from the scope of Chapter
			 1347. of the Revised Code; and
(3)
			 If all information relates to an investigation about that individual, inform
			 the individual that the board has no confidential personal information about
			 the individual that is responsive to the individual's request.
