employee named, in an indicated report of child abuse may,
within 90 days of being notified of the status of the report,
request an administrative review by, or appeal and request a

chapter. The request shall be in writing in a manner
prescribed by the department.

request for administrative review under paragraph (2), the
department shall send notice of the secretary's decision.

request under subsection (a)(2), the Statewide database,
appropriate county agency, appropriate law enforcement officials
and all subjects shall be so advised of the decision. The county
agency and any subject have 90 days in which to file an
administrative appeal with the secretary. If an administrative
appeal is received, the secretary or his designated agent shall
schedule a hearing pursuant to Article IV of the act of June 13,
1967 (P.L.31, No.21), known as the Public Welfare Code,
attending departmental regulations. If no administrative appeal
is received within the designated time period, the Statewide
database shall comply with the decision of the secretary and
advise the county agency to amend [or expunge] the information
in their records so that the records are consistent at both the
State and local levels.
