(e) This section notwithstanding, the results of any test for alcohol content made upon any person pursuant to section 286-162, HRS, shall be available only to the state and county highway safety councils and to other agencies the director deems necessary and advisable.
(f) The director may release all the information contained in the motor vehicle registration file only when all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The director has determined that the State has a compelling interest in the public's safety or health which justifies the release, such as the State's inability to meet the time parameters set forth in subsection (i); and
(2) The director has determined that the requestor is qualified pursuant to subsection (a)(3)(B) and has a legitimate reason for obtaining the records.
(g) Any release of information contained in the statewide traffic records system shall be restricted to information the director deems necessary to conduct the activity in which the State has a compelling interest.
(h) Nothing in this chapter shall prohibit a person or authorized agent from obtaining information pertaining to that person's own record as contained in the statewide traffic records system. County agencies may release individual records described under section 19-121-3 which are within their control to individual requestors or their legal representatives.
(i) If the request is made pursuant to subsection (a)(3)(B), the agency shall comply with requests for access to motor vehicle registration records within twenty working days from date of receipt of the request provided that delay or failure of requestor to meet any requirement of this section shall toll the agency's compliance period accordingly. Where it is determined that a request for multiple records would unduly burden and interfere with operations of the agency, for example because the records requested are presently in use, voluminous, or difficult to locate, the director may:
(1) Extend the period of compliance for an additional period as mutually agreed; or
(2) If the request is made by a person qualifying under subsections (a)(3)(B) and (f)(1) and (2), instead of providing only the
