Section 23.10.250. Response to finding or opinion in final report.

	(a)  Except as provided in (b) of this section, when the victims' advocate presents a final report to a justice agency or person under AS 24.65.150(a) and 23 AAC 10.240, the justice agency or person may submit a written reply to the victims' advocate's final report within 10 calendar days after receipt of it regardless of whether any previous response or request has been submitted by the justice agency or person under 23 AAC 10.230 or otherwise. Additionally, the justice agency or person may advise the victims' advocate of its decision whether to  
		(1) accept and implement or agree to implement one or more recommendations contained in the final report; or  
		(2) reject the recommendations contained in the final report.  
	(b)  When presenting the final report, if the victims' advocate determines that an early response is reasonably necessary to obtain timely agency review of findings and a recommendation of the investigation of a complaint that is an emergency or of a complaint in which there is an allegation or evidence of serious harm or injury, the victims' advocate may request an agency or person to respond to the final report on a date sooner than the date specified in (a) of this section. A victims' advocate's final report that requests an early response under this subsection must specify the date by which the early response is required.  
	(c)  The victims' advocate may, for good cause shown in writing, extend a period provided for response under (a) or (b) of this section.
