Summary

Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act; rights of data subjects.  Requires agencies covered by the Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act to respond to a data subject for inspection of his record in five working days after receiving the request or within a time period as may be mutually agreed upon by the agency and the data subject.  The bill references the pertinent section of the Virginia Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) so as to treat requests made under the Government Data Collection and Dissemination Practices Act in the same manner as requests under FOIA, in terms of response time and invoking applicable exemptions, etc.  The bill also clarifies that charges for document production shall be in accordance with FOIA provisions.
