1. Appeal. A state agency may appeal the decision or action of the Chief Information Officer to the commissioner.

2. Appeal to Governor. In the event that an agency is aggrieved by the decision of the commissioner, the agency may appeal to the Governor to alter the decision or action, and the decision of the Governor is final.

3. Written decisions. In responding to a state agency, the person or organization to whom the appeal has been made shall provide the decision in writing. If the decision fails to uphold the state agency appeal, the decision must contain the specific reasons for the decision.
