Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
Petition for internal
			 administrative review of denial of access.
Any person who objects to the
			 initial denial or partial denial of a records request may petition in writing
			 (including e-mail) to the public records officer for a review of that decision.
			 The petition shall include a copy of or reasonably identify the written
			 statement by the public records officer or designee denying the
			 request.
(2)
Consideration of
			 petition for review.
The public records officer shall promptly provide
			 the petition and any other relevant information to the assistant secretary of
			 state or the deputy secretary of state. That person will immediately consider
			 the petition and either affirm or reverse the denial within two business days
			 following the office's receipt of the petition, or within such other time as
			 the office of the secretary of state and the requestor mutually agree
			 to.
(3)
Review by the
			 attorney general's office.
Pursuant to
			 RCW
			  42.56.530, if the office of the secretary of
			 state denies a requestor access to public records because it claims the record
			 is exempt in whole or in part from disclosure, the requestor may request the
			 attorney general's office to review the matter. The attorney general has
			 adopted rules on such requests in WAC
			 44-06-160.
(4)
Judicial review.
Any person
			 may obtain court review of denials of public records requests pursuant to
			 RCW
			  42.56.550 at the conclusion of two business
			 days after the initial denial regardless of any internal administrative
			 appeal.
