(1) If the person requesting disclosure disagrees with the decision of board staff denying disclosure of a public record, this person may, at any time, petition the board's executive officer for review of the decision denying disclosure. The form used by board staff to deny disclosure of a public record shall clearly indicate this right of review.
(2) The executive 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 board of the petition for review. This shall constitute final agency action for the purposes of judicial review, pursuant to RCW
42.17.320.
