If the record is reasonably segregable, the agency shall: (1) Provide access to the portions of the record that are required to be disclosed under chapter 92F, HRS; and (2) Provide a notice to the requester in accordance with section 2-71-14(b) regarding information that is not disclosed. (b) An agency shall segregate information from a requested record in such a way so that it is reasonably apparent that information has been removed from the record. An agency shall not replace information that has been segregated with information or text that did not appear in the original record.
