Section 23.10.260. Publication of opinions and recommendations.

	(a)  Within a reasonable amount of time after the victims' advocate reports the opinion and recommendations to a justice agency or a person, the victims' advocate may present the opinion and recommendations to the governor, the legislature, a grand jury, the public, or any of these. The victims' advocate will include with the opinion and recommendations any reply made by the agency or the person. In the final report, the victims' advocate may indicate that the subject matter of the investigation has been "rectified" if the victims' advocate determines that, in response to a finding or recommendation presented to the justice agency or person, the justice agency or person has initiated corrective action or has committed to take corrective action substantially as recommended by the victims' advocate. If no reply was submitted, the victims' advocate will so state.  
	(b)  The victims' advocate may disclose the final report under (a) of this section only after providing notice under 23 AAC 10.240(a) to the justice agency or person that the investigation has been concluded and after obtaining the written approval of the complainant to release the report as required by AS 24.65.150. Upon request, a copy of the final report shall be provided to the complainant whenever the final report is disclosed under (a) of this section
