If, upon application pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection (3), the secretary of state determines that such redacted information is not the social security number or individual taxpayer identification number of an individual identified in such secured transaction record, the secretary of state shall restore such redacted information so that the information is perceivable, accessible, and open to public inspection.(c)
Nothing in this section shall preclude the restoration of redacted information that the secretary of state determines should not have been redacted.(4)
The secretary of state shall not be liable for redacting or failing to redact a tax identification number pursuant to this section.(5)
The secretary of state may promulgate rules in accordance with article 4 of this title to administer the provisions of this section, including any rules necessary to establish procedures for requesting the redaction of a tax identification number or the restoration of redacted information that is not the social security number or individual taxpayer identification number of an individual identified in such secured transaction record.
