(a) After the authorized third party has reported a failed collective negotiation attempt in accordance with AS 23.50.020 (d)(2) and 9 AAC 23.040(c), the authorized third party and participating physicians may not engage in collective negotiations or communications with a health benefit plan except as provided in this section.

(b) The negotiation group, through its authorized third party, may resume negotiations within no more than 60 days after reporting a failed collective negotiation attempt if the authorized third party provides the attorney general notice of its intent to resume negotiations at least seven days before the resumption date. Subsequent negotiations may not deviate from the terms of the original request for negotiation as approved by the attorney general or from any requirements prescribed in the attorney general's written approval.

(c) To resume negotiations later than 60 days after reporting a failed collective negotiation attempt, the authorized third party must submit a new request for negotiation and fee in accordance with 9 AAC 23.020 and 9 AAC 23.030.

(d) The attorney general will presume collective negotiations under AS 23.50 and this chapter to have failed if a proposed contract is not submitted to the attorney general within 12 months after approval of a collective negotiation request.
