Section 8:17-12.7 - Amendment of records at parent's request

(a) A parent who believes that the information in early intervention records collected, maintained or used by the NJEIS is inaccurate or misleading or violates privacy or other rights of the child may request the provider agency that maintains the information to amend the information and provide supporting documents, where necessary, to effectuate the change.

(b) The provider agency shall decide whether to amend the information in accordance with the request within 30 days of receipt of the request.

(c) If the provider agency decides not to amend the information in accordance with the request, it shall inform the parent, in writing, of its refusal and the right to a hearing pursuant to 8:17-12.8.

(d) If a parent decides not to request a hearing, the provider agency shall inform the parent that he or she may place in the record it maintains on the child a statement commenting on the information or setting forth any reasons for disagreeing with the decision of the agency, and the statement will therefore accompany any copy of the child's record sent out in response to future requests.
