§ 4-67dd — Process for requesting data, records or files from a state agency that is not the originating state agency. Exception.

(a) For purposes of this section, “state agency” has the same meaning as provided in section 4-67n. Any person requesting data, records or files that have been shared by one state agency with another state agency pursuant to any statute, regulation, data sharing agreement, memorandum of agreement or understanding or court order, including, but not limited to, a request made pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, as defined in section 1-200, shall direct such request to the state agency from which such data, records or files originated. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of chapter 14, if a state agency that is not the originating state agency receives a request for data, records or files as described in subsection (a) of this section, such state agency shall (1) promptly refer such request to the state agency from which such data, records or files originated, and (2) notify, in writing, the person who submitted the request for such data, records or files that such request has been referred to the originating state agency. Such written notification shall include the name, address and telephone number of the originating state agency and the date on which the referral was made to the originating state agency. (c) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require the disclosure of any data, records or files if the disclosure of such data, records or files would not have been required had the request been made directly to the state agency from which such data, records or files originated. (d) The provisions of this section shall not apply to requests for any data that is subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of section 54-142r .
