HRS §92F-27.5
Alternative way to appeal a denial of access
This section gives you another way to appeal if a government agency refuses to let you see your own personal record. You can ask the Office of Information Practices to review the denial. If they say you should get the record, the agency must give it to you. If they agree with the agency, you can still go to court.

The statute, as written — Alternative method to appeal a denial of access
(a) When an agency denies an individual access to that individual's personal record, the individual may appeal the denial to the office of information practices in accordance with rules adopted pursuant to section 92F-42(12). A decision to appeal to the office of information practices for review of the agency denial shall not prejudice the individual's right to appeal to the circuit court after a decision is made by the office of information practices. (b) If the decision is to disclose, the office of information practices shall notify the individual and the agency, and the agency shall make the record available. If the denial of access is upheld, in whole or in part, the office of information practices shall, in writing, notify the individual of the decision, the reasons for the decision, and the right to bring a judicial action under section 92F-27.
