All personnel responsible for responding to requests for access to public records shall be made aware, by their supervisors, of the provisions of this regulation and the procedures to be followed when an access to public records request is made. Division personnel having any questions regarding the procedures to be followed should direct inquiries to:

1. The person in charge of the Division of Motor Vehicles responsible for the activity/function to which the public record being requested relates; or

2. In the event that the public record cannot be readily categorized as falling under the responsibility of the Division of Motor Vehicles, the request should be directed to the Division of Legal Services at the Department of Revenue which will serve as a resource in matters relating to the public's access to public records.
