administrative law judge within the department shall, upon a showing of good cause for the release
of such record or report, approve the release of the medical record or report relevant to the
employee's claim, to the employer. The employer shall, upon request, provide a copy of all medical
records and reports received, to the employee, without cost to the employee.".
