Section 6057.4 - Grant or denial of access to records

(a) Upon receipt of a request for a subscription to obtain sex offender internet identifiers, the division shall determine whether the requestor is an authorized internet entity.

(b) If the division determines that the requestor is an authorized internet entity, it shall grant the request and the subscription to access sex offender internet identifiers shall be provided in a format to be determined by the division.

(c) If the division determines that the requestor is not an authorized internet entity, it shall deny the request. The division shall state, in writing, the reason for the denial of the request.

(d) An authorized internet entity shall not disclose or redisclose any information provided to it by the division unless necessary to enable the authorized internet entity to prescreen or remove a sex offender from its services or to advise a law enforcement agency or other governmental agency of potential violations of law or threats to public safety. An authorized internet entity may disclose information provided to it by the division to any person it is seeking to remove from its services or deny access to its services because the authorized internet entity reasonably believes such person is a registered sex offender. An authorized internet entity shall not use the information provided to it by the division to contact any person unless such contact is necessary to prescreen or remove such person from its services.

(e) If the division determines there is reasonable cause to believe that an authorized internet entity is engaged in a pattern or practice of misuse of the sex offender internet identifiers, the division is authorized to terminate an authorized internet entity's subscription to access sex offender internet identifiers.
