Challenges to the Accuracy or Completeness of Evaluative Information

or disseminated may, in writing, request the Superintendent of the institution to take remedial

the response of the Superintendent or designee, or if the Superintendent or designee has not
responded within 15 business days of receipt of request, the individual may, in writing, request
review by the Commissioner. The Commissioner or his or her designee shall respond, in writing,
to the individual within 15 business days of receipt of request.
