Legal Scales Inspection and Correction of a Person’s Own Records

After providing identification, a person may inspect, copy and request correction of public records pertaining to that person. A correction, or a written refusal to make the correction, must be made within ten (10) calendar days from the receipt of the request. Idaho Code§ 9-342(3) prohibits access to certain records pertaining to oneself, if the information: relates to exempt investigatory records of ongoing investigations; is compiled in reasonable anticipation of a civil action or proceeding which is not otherwise discoverable; relates to adoption records; or, is otherwise exempt from disclosure by statute.
