Mr. Riches said this language may be subject to review by the States Attorney. As part of the Commissioners' responsibility for this organization, Mr. Shannon said they should not be encumbered by complicated procedures to access and review records. Employees can be notified after the fact that their record was reviewed. Mr. Wieland agreed with adding this language providing the commission is not infringing on anyone's rights, and that something be placed in the file in writing saying the record was reviewed.
