Sec.46a-54-153. Contesting the content of personal data records

(a) Any person who believes that the Commission is maintaining inaccurate, incomplete or irrelevant personal data may file a written request with the Commission for correction thereof. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of such request, the Commission shall give written notice to such person that it will make the requested correction. If the correction is not to be made as submitted, the Commission shall state in writing the reason for its denial and notify the person of the right to seek judicial relief pursuant to the personal data act.

(b) Following the denial of a request to correct, the person requesting the correction may add a statement to his or her personal data record setting forth what that person believes to be an accurate, complete and relevant version of the data in question. Such statements shall become a permanent part of the Commission's personal data system and shall be disclosed to any individual, agency or organization to which the contested data is disclosed.
