Sec. 4. (a) Upon receipt of a request for a new investigation, the superintendent of the state police department shall, as soon as practicable, review the written request and, if warranted, conduct any further investigation. (b) If the state police department assisted the local law enforcement agency in the earlier investigation, the superintendent of the state police department shall consider assigning an officer to review the request who did not participate in the earlier investigation, unless assigning a new officer is impracticable. (c) The review of a request under this chapter shall be conducted without regard to the conclusions of the earlier investigation. However, an officer conducting the new investigation may rely on forensic and other evidence collected during the earlier investigation. (d) At the conclusion of the review, the superintendent of the state police department shall provide the immediate family member who requested the investigation with a concise written summary of the determination made by the state police department. A determination made by the state police department under this section is not subject to judicial review.
