(1) If the person requesting disclosure disagrees with the decision of a public records officer denying disclosure of a public record, this person may within twenty days petition the commission's public records officer for review of the decision denying disclosure. The form used to deny disclosure of a public record shall clearly indicate this right of review.
(2) The public records officer shall review decisions denying disclosure in the most prompt fashion possible, and such review shall be deemed completed at the end of the second business day following receipt by the commission of the petition for review. This shall constitute final agency action for the purposes of judicial review, pursuant to RCW
42.56.520.
