21 AAC 20.240. Investigation, conclusion, and final report

(a) When concluding an investigation, the ombudsman will indicate that the subject of the investigation has been "rectified" if the ombudsman determines that, in response to a recommendation or modified recommendation presented to the agency, the agency has initiated corrective action or commits itself to take corrective action substantially as recommended.

(b) If an agency does not initiate corrective action or does not commit itself to take corrective action substantially as presented in the ombudsman's recommendation or modified recommendation, the ombudsman will, in his or her discretion, after considering any response received from the agency, submit a report of the matter to the chief executive officer of the agency or to the governor, and then make a report to the legislature, to the press, or to the public, as the ombudsman considers appropriate.

(c) The provisions of (b) of this section do not limit the ombudsman from making a report on any investigation to the legislature, the press, or the public, as the ombudsman considers appropriate.
