(2)Complaints to public officials not an authorization-separate authorization required. A letter from the subject of a confidential record to a public official that seeks the official's intervention on behalf of the subject in a matter that involves the department shall not, to the extent permitted by law, be treated as an authorization to release sufficient information about the subject to the official to resolve the matter. The subject of a confidential record filing a complaint must submit a disclosure authorization as provided in rules 701-5.7 (17A,22,421,422) and 701-7.6(17A,22,421,422).

This rule is intended to implement Iowa Code chapters 17A, 22, 421, and 422.
