6 AAC 25.300 Selection of names of candidates for ballot placement

(a) The director will establish a method to be used for determining the ballot placement of candidates for the primary, special primary, special, and general elections using the procedures set out in this section.

(b) The order for placement on the ballot will be established by the random drawing of the 26 letters of the alphabet by the director.

(c) One drawing will be held under (b) of this section for a primary or special primary election and one other drawing will be held under (b) of this section for a special or general election. The results of the drawing for state representative and state senator must be recorded in writing and shall be certified by the director. The certified results will remain on file with the division for 24 months following the election.

(d) For each type of race on a ballot, the names of candidates whose last names start with the same letter will be placed on the ballot according to regular alphabetical order, under that letter. For example, the names of all candidates in a race whose last names begin with the letter "M" will be alphabetized under that letter and will appear on the ballot as "Metzgar, Miller, Munson."

(e) For each type of race, placement on the ballot for candidates sharing the same last name will be determined by those candidates' first name and, if necessary, middle initial. For example, under the "S" placement, "Smith, John A." will appear before "Smith, Walter W." and "Smith, John A." will appear before "Smith, John L."

(f) The director will rotate the order of placement of the names of candidates for governor, lieutenant governor, United States Senator, United States Representative, and state senator on the ballot for each house district. Within each race in House District 1, except for the race for state senator, the director will place the names on the ballot in alphabetical order, from A to Z For each house district that follows, in ascending numerical order through House District 40, the director will rotate the names on the ballot so that the name at the top of each race in the preceding house district drops to the bottom in the following house district. For the race for state senator, in each odd-numbered house district, the director will place the names on the ballot to follow the order in which letters of the alphabet were randomly drawn under (b) of this section. For each even-numbered house district, the director will rotate the names on the ballot so that the name at the top of the race for state senator drops to the bottom.

(g) In the general election, the names of the candidates for United States President will be used to determine the placement for the combined races of United States President and Vice President. The names of the candidates for United States President and Vice President will be placed in alphabetical order on all ballots. The names of the candidates for governor will be used to determine placement for the combined races of governor and lieutenant governor.

(a) For a statewide primary, special primary, general, or special election, a qualified voter who has properly applied under AS 15.20.081 for an absentee ballot and has not received the ballot may vote for all federal and state candidate races, each judicial retention election, and ballot proposition or question scheduled to appear on the ballot that the voter is eligible to participate by using a federal write-in absentee ballot. The voter must be

(1) an absent uniformed services voter; or

(2) voting by absentee ballot from outside the United States.

(b) In completing the federal write-in ballot, the voter may designate a candidate for each candidate race for a primary, special primary, general, or special election by writing in the name of the office and candidate or by writing in the office and the name of a political party or political group. If the voter has written in the name of a political party or political group, the ballot will be counted for the candidate designated as affiliated with that political party or political group on the state's official ballot. However, if two or more candidates have the same party or group affiliation, the ballot will not be counted for that candidate race unless the intention of the voter can be ascertained. Any abbreviation, misspelling, or other minor variation in the form of the name of a candidate, political party, or political group will be disregarded in determining the validity of the ballot, if the intention of the voter can be ascertained. For general elections the voter may rank multiple candidates or designate a single candidate, who will be counted as the voter's highest-ranked candidate. For judicial retention elections the voter may designate the voter's vote by writing the name of the judge and writing "yes" to retain a judge or "no" to not retain a judge. For ballot propositions or questions the voter may designate the voter's vote in writing the ballot proposition or question assigned number and writing "yes" to enact the proposition or question or "no" to not enact the proposition or question. The voter shall sign and shall have the voter's ballot witnessed in the manner prescribed under AS 15.20.081(d). The federal write-in ballot will be counted in the general manner prescribed for the counting of write-in votes in AS 15.15.360, except that the requirement under AS 15.15.360(d)(2) that the voter mark the oval opposite the candidate's name does not apply.

(c) A federal write-in ballot of a voter will be reviewed in the manner prescribed under AS 15.20.203 for the district absentee ballot counting review, except that additional restrictions apply. The federal write-in ballot will not be reviewed or counted, and will remain sealed in the oath and affidavit envelope if

(1) in the case of a ballot submitted by an overseas voter who is not an absent uniformed services voter, the ballot is submitted from any location in the United States;

(2) the voter failed to apply for a by-mail or electronic transmission ballot as required by the deadline set out under AS 15.20.081;

(3) the voter was sent a ballot by the division, and the voter's official absentee ballot is received by the deadlines established in AS 15.20.081(e) and (h); or

(4) the voter submits a voted federal write-in absentee ballot more than 45 days before a statewide primary, special primary, general, or special election.

(d) Repealed 2/28/2014.

(e) A voter who is eligible to use the federal write-in absentee ballot and who simultaneously applies for a ballot and votes using the federal write-in absentee ballot will not be sent the official ballot if the voted federal write-in absentee ballot is received by the division 45 days or less before a statewide primary, general, or special election. If a federal write-in absentee ballot is incomplete for voting, the federal write-in absentee ballot will be processed following voter registration and absentee ballot application procedures. If the voter simultaneously applies for a ballot and votes the federal write-in absentee ballot 46 or more days before a statewide primary, special primary, general, or special election, the division will process the application for a ballot and send an official ballot to the voter.

6 AAC 30.320 Investigation methods by commission staff before conciliation

(a) The commission's staff will determine the nature and scope of the investigation. The commission's staff will impartially obtain and analyze facts relevant to the complaint and determine if the allegations are supported by substantial evidence. During the investigation, the staff may also investigate matters that are like, related to, or growing out of the complaint. The commission's staff may obtain evidence by resolution conference, interview, inspection of documents and premises, or examination of written submissions of parties and witnesses. Any party or witness may offer a relevant statement or evidence for consideration by the commission's staff.

(b) The commission's staff will conduct interviews confidentially. Witnesses may not be accompanied during interviews unless

(1) by a representative of the respondent if the witness is a member of the respondent's control group;

(2) by an attorney who has entered an appearance before the commission on behalf of the witness;

(3) by a qualified, neutral language interpreter selected by the commission's staff if the commission's staff determines that the interpreter's presence will facilitate communication between the witness and the interviewer;

(4) by a parent of a witness who is a minor;

(5) by a guardian of the witness if the witness lacks capacity to testify independently; or

(6) by another person identified by the witness when such participation would constitute a reasonable accommodation for the witness's disability.

(c) To carry out its impartial investigation, the commission's staff may issue requests for production, interrogatories, subpoenas, and subpoenas duces tecum. A party must mail the answers to interrogatories and responses to requests for production not later than 30 days after service unless the commission's staff grants an extension or modification for good cause shown. The commission's staff may set reasonable times for appearances in response to subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum. In addition, the following rules apply:

(1) the commission's staff shall notify the party to whom interrogatories, subpoenas duces tecum, or requests for production are directed that failure to answer, appear, or produce may result in an adverse determination by the staff on the merits of the complaint and a loss of the right to offer evidence sought by the interrogatories, subpoenas duces tecum, or requests for production at a later hearing on the complaint;

(2) if a complainant fails to answer, appear, or produce information necessary to reach a determination on the merits of the complaint, the commission's staff shall close the case;

(3) if a respondent fails to answer, appear, or produce, the commission's staff shall analyze the available evidence and determine whether the complaint is supported by substantial evidence; the staff may seek enforcement of a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum in superior court or it may base a determination on inferences drawn from the failure to answer an interrogatory, appear, or produce documents, and proceed as follows:

(A) if the complaint is supported by substantial evidence, the commission's staff shall issue its determination in writing and try to conciliate the complaint; if conciliation fails and a hearing is convened, the hearing commissioners will not receive any evidence that should have been offered in response to the interrogatories, subpoenas duces tecum, or requests for production issued by the commission's staff;

(B) if the complaint is not supported by substantial evidence, the commission's staff may refer the refusal to comply with a subpoena, subpoena duces tecum, request for production, interrogatories, or other process to the Department of Law for appropriate enforcement action in superior court; if the state is a respondent, the commission may employ temporary legal counsel to enforce its investigation process.

(d) No party may serve interrogatories, requests for production, subpoenas, subpoenas duces tecum, and other process on another party, on the commission's staff, or on any other person before certification of conciliation failure by the executive director. The commission's staff may issue process on any person at the request of a party if the staff determines that the process is reasonably necessary for an impartial investigation, determination, or conciliation of the case.

(e) The commission's staff may issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum to take the deposition of any person as part of its impartial investigation. A deposition taken during an investigation may be offered in evidence at a hearing convened under 6 AAC 30.410 - 6 AAC 30.497 if the party taking the deposition informs the parties to the investigation and the person whose deposition is taken of its intended use.

6 AAC 30.330 Rules Governing Practice and Procedure Before the State Commission for Human Rights

6 AAC 30.330. Determinations. 6 AAC 30.330(a) was based on 6 AAC 30.010(k) and 6 AAC 30.330(b) was based on 6 AAC 30.020(a)(5) before 3/12/81.

(b) If the commission's staff determines that an administrative closure of a case is necessary prior to a conciliation failure, it shall prepare a closing order with a written explanation of the reasons for dismissal. (c) If the commission's staff determines that the complaint is supported by substantial evidence, it shall prepare written findings and a determination on each alleged violation of AS 18.80. If the commission's staff identifies during the investigation an issue of discrimination or a person not named in the complaint who has been similarly discriminated against, the commission's staff shall identify this issue or person in the determination either by name or with enough specificity that the respondent can identify the issue or the person. (d) Written findings, determinations, and closing orders shall be delivered to the parties in person, by certified mail, return receipt requested, or through secure electronic transmission.

6 AAC 30.340(a), (b), (c), (d) and (f) were based on 6 AAC 30.020(b) and (d). The history notes dated before 3/12/81 which follow 6 AAC 30.340 refer to the former sections. 6 AAC 30.340. Conciliation procedures. (a) The commission's staff will provide the parties with proposed terms of conciliation along with the determination that a complaint is supported by substantial evidence. The commission's staff will propose remedies for each issue and individual identified in the determination. (b) If the commission's staff negotiates conciliation terms that provide a remedy for a person who is not named in the complaint but identified in the determination, the commission's staff will invite the person identified to accept or reject the remedy. (c) The commission's staff or either party shall direct to the class identified in the findings the best notice practicable to those class members who can be identified through reasonable effort. (d) Conciliation by the commission will not prevent an individual who has not filed a complaint from seeking relief outside of the conciliation agreement. (e) If the complainant, executive director, and respondent agree to a remedy or remedies, the agreement must be signed by all parties in accordance with AS 18.80.110. If the complainant refuses to accept conciliation terms offered by the respondent that the executive director believes are reasonable, the executive director may seek to remedy the discriminatory practice or practices identified in the determination without the complainant's participation, and any agreement reached must be signed by the executive director and the respondent. (f) Conciliation terms must be agreed to not later than 30 days after service of the conciliation agreement proposed by the commission's staff. The executive director may grant an extension of time to agree to the terms of conciliation for good cause shown. The executive director will determine that conciliation efforts have failed if (1) the respondent fails to discuss conciliation in a timely manner with the commission's staff; (2) the commission's staff and the parties do not resolve the issues alleged in the complaint; or (3) the respondent fails to fulfill its obligations under the conciliation agreement. (g) If the executive director determines that conciliation efforts have failed, the executive director shall inform the commission's chairperson in writing and shall, not later than 45 days of the determination of the failure, refer the complaint to the commission for hearing or dismiss without prejudice the complaint in accordance with AS 18.80.112(b); a referral must be accompanied by an accusation as provided in AS 18.80.120 and must be served on the parties in person or by certified mail, return receipt requested; if the executive director dismisses the complaint, the executive director must give notice to the commission and serve the parties in person or by regular mail. (h) The commission's staff will attempt conciliation on behalf of a class of persons identified through investigation as described in 6 AAC 30.330(b) even if the individual complainant fails to participate in or cooperate with conciliation efforts. Complainant's refusal to cooperate will not prevent a settlement on behalf of the class members or result in a determination that conciliation efforts on behalf of the class are unsuccessful.

After the commission's staff has determined that the complaint is supported by substantial evidence, the executive director must approve the withdrawal. Withdrawal of a complaint does not prevent an individual from filing a complaint that alleges a similar related violation of AS 18.80. (b) For complaints filed on or after September 13, 2006, a complainant may withdraw a complaint by submitting a signed, written request to the commission's staff at any time before the executive director serves an accusation under AS 18.80.120. (c) The executive director may substitute the executive director as a party in the place of a complainant who requests withdrawal. The commission's staff shall promptly notify the respondent of the substitution, and the case shall proceed as if the executive director had filed the original complaint.

Article 6 Accommodations for Service Animals and Alert Animals

6 AAC 30.610 Rules Governing Practice and Procedure Before the State Commission for Human Rights

6 AAC 30.610. Accommodations for service animals and alert animals. (a) A public accommodation shall modify policies, practices, or procedures to permit the use of a service or alert animal by an individual with a disability. (b) An individual with a disability shall be permitted to be accompanied by a service or alert animal in all areas of a place of public accommodation where members of the public, program participants, clients, customers, patrons, or invitees, as relevant, are allowed to go. (c) A public accommodation may not ask about the nature or extent of a person's disability. (d) A public accommodation may ask, when it is not readily apparent that an animal is trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, (1) if the animal is required because of a disability and (2) what work or task the animal performs. (e) A person with a disability may not be required to produce documentation that an animal has been certified, trained, or licensed as a service animal. A public accommodation may require an individual with a disability accompanied by an alert animal to produce written verification of a licensed health care provider, who has conducted an in-person physical examination of the individual, of the animal's ability to alert to the present impairment of a vital function which is a condition of the individual's disability. (f) A service or alert animal must behave appropriately in public, must be under the control of its handler and must be harnessed, leashed, or other tethered, unless these devices would interfere with the service or alert animal's work or the individual's disability prevents using these devices. If the devices interfere, then the handler must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective means. A public accommodation is not responsible for the care or supervision of a service or alert animal. (g) A service or alert animal may be excluded or removed from the premises if (1) the animal is out of control and the animal's handler does not take effective action to control the animal, (2) the animal is not housebroken, (3) the animal's behavior poses a significant risk to the health or safety of others that cannot be eliminated by a modification of policies, practices, or procedures, or by the provision of auxiliary aids or services, or (4) admitting the animal would fundamentally alter the nature of the goods, services, programs, or activities provided to the public. (h) If a service or alert animal is excluded or removed, the removing entity must provide the individual with a disability the opportunity to access goods, services, and accommodations without the service animal. (i) Where the accommodation of an individual with a disability who relies on a service or alert animal may trigger symptoms of another person with a disability whom the public accommodation has a duty to accommodate, a reasonable effort must be made to accommodate both individuals to the extent possible. (j) A public accommodation may not ask or require an individual with a disability to pay a surcharge, even if people accompanied by pets are required to pay fees, or to comply with other requirements generally not applicable to people without pets. If a public accommodation normally charges individuals for the damage they cause, an individual with a disability may be charged for damage caused by his or her service or alert animal. (k) A service animal handler shall not be required to obtain any certification or registration from any organization purporting to certify service animals, nor shall the animal be required to carry a tag, vest, or other documentation identifying the animal as a service animal. However, service animal handlers are not exempt from local animal control or public health requirements. (l) Requirements applicable to service animals in this regulation shall also be applicable to miniature horses. In determining whether reasonable modifications in policies, practices, or procedures can be made to allow a miniature horse into a specific facility, a public accommodation shall consider: (1) the type, size, and weight of the miniature horse and whether the facility can accommodate these features; (2) whether the handler has sufficient control of the miniature horse; (3) whether the miniature horse is housebroken; and (4) whether the miniature horse's presence in a specific facility compromises legitimate safety requirements that are necessary for safe operation. (m) An animal in training to work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability shall enjoy the same protections as a fully trained service animal when accompanied by either an individual with a disability or a trainer and is actively training. The requirements applicable to service animals and their handlers under this section and other federal or state laws are also applicable to service animals in training and their handlers (n) The requirements applicable to service animals in public accommodations in this section apply to the state and its political subdivisions, and, except as provided in 3 AAC 30.990(b), to owners, lessors, managers, or other persons having the right to sell, lease, or rent real property. (o) This subsection does not limit the rights or remedies of a qualified employee with a disability who may seek to use an animal to assist him or her in the performance of the essential functions of a job. Employers shall treat a request from a qualified employee as a request for a reasonable accommodation and engage in an interactive process to determine whether or not the accommodation is reasonable. (p) This subsection does not limit the rights or remedies of a housing accommodation or an individual with a disability that are granted by federal fair housing laws. (q) In this section, (1) "alert animal" means any animal that alerts a person with a disability to the present impairment of a vital function which is a condition of the individual's disability, and whose ability to alert is verified in writing by a licensed health care provider who has conducted a physical examination of the individual in person; 6 AAC 30.600 applies to alert animals, except that a public accommodation may require an individual with a disability accompanied by an alert animal to produce the written verification; (2) "control group" means an employee who holds a position of sufficient authority or responsibility so that he or she may be considered to be speaking on behalf of the organization with respect to the matter at issue, and in so doing is able to legally bind the organization; (3) "health care provider" means a Doctor of Medicine "M.D.", doctor of osteopathic medicine "D.O.", advanced practice registered nurse, "APRN", or physician assistant "P.A."; (4) "service animal" means a dog or miniature horse that is trained to do work or perform tasks for an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability; the work done or tasks performed must be directly related to the individual's disability and may include, guiding an individual who is visually impaired or blind, alerting an individual who is deaf or hard of hearing, pulling a wheelchair, assisting with mobility or balance, alerting and protecting an individual who is having a seizure, retrieving objects, alerting an individual to the presence of allergens, providing physical support and assistance with balance and stability to an individual with a mobility disability, helping an individual with a psychiatric or neurological disability by preventing or interrupting impulsive or destructive behaviors, reminding an individual with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming an individual with posttraumatic stress disorder during an anxiety attack, or doing other specific work or performing other special tasks; (5) "vital function" means a function of the body on which life is directly dependent, such as respiration or circulation of blood.

6 AAC 88.040 Standards for identity proofing

(a) If a notary public does not have personal knowledge or satisfactory evidence of the identity of a remotely located individual under (d) of this section, the notary public must reasonably verify the individual's identity through a multi-factor authentication procedure as provided in (a) - (c) of this section. The procedure must analyze the individual's identification credential that is the subject of remote presentation against trusted third-party data sources, bind the individual's identity to the individual following a successful knowledge-based authentication assessment, and permit the notary public to visually compare the identification credential and the individual. Credential analysis and identity proofing must be performed by a reputable third party that has provided evidence to the notary public of its ability to satisfy the requirements of this chapter.

(b) Credential analysis must use public or private data sources to confirm the validity of the identification credential that is the subject of remote presentation by a remotely located individual and must, at a minimum,

(1) use automated software processes to aid the notary public in verifying the identity of each remotely located individual;

(2) require the identification credential to pass an authenticity test, consistent with sound commercial practices, that uses appropriate technologies to confirm the integrity of visual, physical, or cryptographic security features, and to confirm that the identification credential is not fraudulent or inappropriately modified;

(3) use information held or published by the issuing source or an authoritative source, as available and consistent with sound commercial practices, to confirm the validity of personal details and identification credential details; and

(4) enable the notary public to visually compare for consistency the information and photograph on the identification credential and the remotely located individual as viewed by the notary public in real time through communication technology.

(c) Identity proofing may be performed by means of a knowledge-based authentication assessment. The assessment is successful if it meets the following requirements:

(1) the remotely located individual must answer a quiz of a minimum of five questions related to the individual's personal history or identity formulated from public or private data sources;

(2) each question must have a minimum of five possible answer choices;

(3) at least 80 percent of the questions must be answered correctly;

(4) all questions must be answered within two minutes;

(5) if the remotely located individual fails the first attempt, the individual may retake the quiz one time within 24 hours;

(6) during a retake of the quiz, a minimum of 40 percent of the prior questions must be replaced;

(7) if the remotely located individual fails the second attempt, the individual is not allowed to retry with the same online notary public until at least 24 hours after the second failed attempt; and

(8) the notary public may not be able to see or record the questions or answers.

(d) The multi-factor authentication requirements in (a) - (c) of this section do not apply if

(1) the notary public has personal knowledge of the identity of the individual; or

(2) the individual is identified by oath or affirmation of a credible witness subject to the following requirements:

(A) to be a credible witness, the witness must have personal knowledge of the remotely located individual;

(B) the notary public must have personal knowledge of the credible witness or must have satisfactory evidence of the identity of the credible witness through verification of the witness's identity by multi-factor authentication in accordance with (a) - (c) of this section;

(C) a credible witness may be outside the physical presence of the notary public or remotely located individual if the notary public, credible witness, and remotely located individual can communicate by using communication technology.

(2) an occupant may not receive temporary housing assistance for more than 18 months after the date of the disaster declaration.

(b) The division will provide a predisaster renter who qualifies for assistance under 6 AAC 94.320 with no more than one month of assistance in a form set out in 6 AAC 94.340(b)(1), (2), or (3) unless the division determines that the renter is eligible for continued assistance under (d) of this section.

(c) If an applicant is not a predisaster renter, the division will certify the applicant as eligible for temporary housing assistance under 6 AAC 94.340(b)(1), (2), or (3) in increments not to exceed three months. The division will recertify an occupant for continued eligibility in accordance with (d) of this section, taking into consideration the occupant's plan for permanent housing. The division will establish a plan for permanent housing for each occupant requesting additional assistance no later than three months after the division first certified the occupant as eligible for temporary housing assistance.

(d) An occupant shall make every effort to obtain and occupy permanent housing at the earliest possible time. The occupant shall provide receipts documenting disaster related housing costs. The division will determine the occupant to be eligible for continued assistance under 6 AAC 94.300 - 6 AAC 94.380 if:

(1) adequate alternate housing is not available to the occupant; the division will determine

(A) housing to be adequate alternate housing if that housing

(i) accommodates an occupant's needs;

(ii) is within reasonable commuting distance of the occupant's work or school, or of the occupant's agricultural activities that provide over 25 percent of the household income; and

(iii) is within the financial ability of the occupant in the realization of a plan for permanent housing; and

(B) for purposes of (A)(iii) of this paragraph, the occupant's ability to pay housing costs, considering extreme or unusual financial circumstances, and based upon

(i) the amount the occupant paid for housing before the disaster, if the occupant's household income has not changed after or as a result of the disaster; or

(ii) 25 percent of gross post-disaster income, if the occupant's household income changed after or as a result of the disaster;

(2) the occupant's plan for permanent housing has not been realized through no fault of the occupant; and

(3) the occupant is in compliance with the terms of any leases or rental agreements between the occupant and the state.

(e) The division will notify an occupant at least 30 days before the date the division terminates the occupant's temporary housing assistance.

(f) After the date of temporary housing assistance termination, if the occupant continues to occupy the temporary housing, the occupant is liable for the rent and any additional costs of the temporary housing.

6 AAC 94.340 Forms of temporary housing assistance

(a) In determining the form of temporary housing assistance to be provided under (b) and (c) of this section, the division will provide the form that meets an applicant's minimum housing requirements. In determining an applicant's minimum housing requirements, items that the division will consider include timely availability, cost effectiveness, plans for permanent housing plans, and special needs of the applicant. The division will not provide an eligible applicant more than one form of temporary housing except if, in the determination of the division, provision of an additional form is in the best interest of the state.

(b) The forms of temporary housing assistance disbursable to an eligible applicant include

(1) transient accommodations; immediately following a disaster declaration or evacuation, applicants shall stay with family or friends without state provided assistance, or make use of shelters to the fullest extent possible for immediate short-term housing needs; however, the division will provide transient accommodation assistance or immediate short-term housing if the division determines that individual circumstances warrant that assistance; in making the determination that transient accommodations are warranted, the division will consider shelter availability, assistance from other means available to the applicant, and the applicant's special needs; transient accommodation assistance is limited to

(A) a maximum period of 30 days unless the division determines an extension is necessary because longer term temporary housing is not available to the applicant; and

(B) payment of rent including utilities; for purposes of this subparagraph, "utilities" does not include telephone costs and any utilities that are separately metered;

(2) rental payments by the division to a landlord on behalf of an eligible applicant;

(3) the provision of housing to the applicant in a temporary housing unit acquired by purchase, lease, or other means by the division, another state agency, or a state political subdivision;

(4) repairs and replacements; assistance for repairs and replacements is subject to the following limitations and requirements:

(A) if the division determines that the cost of repairs or replacements to repair or restore, to a livable condition, the essential living area of the owner-occupied primary residence of an eligible applicant is less than providing the applicant another form of temporary housing assistance under this section, the division will provide assistance for repairs and replacements to the essential living area, or areas affecting the essential living area, of the residence;

(B) in calculating the cost of the repairs or replacements eligible for assistance under (A) of this paragraph, the division will subtract from the cost

(i) repair or replacement costs covered by insurance or other government programs; and

(ii) the amount, if any, of a grant to the applicant under 6 AAC 94.200 - 6 AAC 94.280 that remains after subtracting the cost of the applicant's eligible expenses, other than home repairs, under 6 AAC 94.240;

(C) as a condition for receiving assistance under this paragraph, an eligible applicant must agree to conform repairs and replacements made under this paragraph to applicable local and state building codes; the division will authorize an upgrade of existing damaged utilities if required by these codes; items must be repaired when feasible and replaced only when necessary to insure the health and safety of the occupant; repairs and replacements must be disaster related; replacement items must be of average quality, size, and capacity, taking into consideration the needs of the occupant;

(D) if the division provides repair or replacement assistance under this paragraph, the division will provide the assistance in one or more of the following forms, as determined by the division:

(i) a cash payment to the applicant, in an amount determined by the division, for replacements or repairs;

(ii) the provision of repair materials to the applicant;

(iii) the provision to the applicant of the services of a contractor under a division-awarded repair contract.

(c) The division will utilize existing rental resources and home repairs to the fullest extent practicable before providing state-acquired temporary housing units.

(d) An applicant shall accept the division's first offer of temporary housing assistance, unless the applicant demonstrates to the division's satisfaction that the first offer does not meet the applicant's minimum housing requirements. The division will not provide temporary housing assistance to an applicant who fails to accept the first offer or make the demonstration described in this subsection.

(a) The House election districts of the state are established by the Redistricting Board in the Final Proclamation of Redistricting, issued on May 15, 2023.

(b) The boundaries of the House election districts of the state are depicted on maps approved and adopted by the Redistricting Board in the Final Proclamation of Redistricting, issued on May 15, 2023. Each election district is described in narrative form in the board's Description of May 2023 Final Proclamation Plan House and Senate Districts, prepared May 15, 2023.

6 AAC 30.320(a) and (b)(3)(B) were based on 6 AAC 30.020; 6 AAC 30.320(b)(1), (b)(3)(A), and (b)(4) were based on 6 AAC 30.022(b) and (g), and 6 AAC 30.320(c) and (d) were based on 6 AAC 30.025 before 3/12/81. The history note to this section contains the history of 6 AAC 30.020, 6 AAC 30.022(b) and (g) and 6 AAC 30.025 before 3/12/81. (a) The commission's staff will determine the nature and scope of the investigation. The commission's staff will impartially obtain and analyze facts relevant to the complaint and determine if the allegations are supported by substantial evidence. During the investigation, the staff may also investigate matters that are like, related to, or growing out of the complaint. The commission's staff may obtain evidence by resolution conference, interview, inspection of documents and premises, or examination of written submissions of parties and witnesses. Any party or witness may offer a relevant statement or evidence for consideration by the commission's staff. (b) The commission's staff will conduct interviews confidentially. Witnesses may not be accompanied during interviews unless (1) by a representative of the respondent if the witness is a member of the respondent's control group; (2) by an attorney who has entered an appearance before the commission on behalf of the witness; (3) by a qualified, neutral language interpreter selected by the commission's staff if the commission's staff determines that the interpreter's presence will facilitate communication between the witness and the interviewer; (4) by a parent of a witness who is a minor; (5) by a guardian of the witness if the witness lacks capacity to testify independently; or (6) by another person identified by the witness when such participation would constitute a reasonable accommodation for the witness's disability. (c) To carry out its impartial investigation, the commission's staff may issue requests for production, interrogatories, subpoenas, and subpoenas duces tecum. A party must mail the answers to interrogatories and responses to requests for production not later than 30 days after service unless the commission's staff grants an extension or modification for good cause shown. The commission's staff may set reasonable times for appearances in response to subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum. In addition, the following rules apply: (1) the commission's staff shall notify the party to whom interrogatories, subpoenas duces tecum, or requests for production are directed that failure to answer, appear, or produce may result in an adverse determination by the staff on the merits of the complaint and a loss of the right to offer evidence sought by the interrogatories, subpoenas duces tecum, or requests for production at a later hearing on the complaint; (2) if a complainant fails to answer, appear, or produce information necessary to reach a determination on the merits of the complaint, the commission's staff shall close the case; (3) if a respondent fails to answer, appear, or produce, the commission's staff shall analyze the available evidence and determine whether the complaint is supported by substantial evidence; the staff may seek enforcement of a subpoena or subpoena duces tecum in superior court or it may base a determination on inferences drawn from the failure to answer an interrogatory, appear, or produce documents, and proceed as follows: (A) if the complaint is supported by substantial evidence, the commission's staff shall issue its determination in writing and try to conciliate the complaint; if conciliation fails and a hearing is convened, the hearing commissioners will not receive any evidence that should have been offered in response to the interrogatories, subpoenas duces tecum, or requests for production issued by the commission's staff; (B) if the complaint is not supported by substantial evidence, the commission's staff may refer the refusal to comply with a subpoena, subpoena duces tecum, request for production, interrogatories, or other process to the Department of Law for appropriate enforcement action in superior court; if the state is a respondent, the commission may employ temporary legal counsel to enforce its investigation process. (d) No party may serve interrogatories, requests for production, subpoenas, subpoenas duces tecum, and other process on another party, on the commission's staff, or on any other person before certification of conciliation failure by the executive director. The commission's staff may issue process on any person at the request of a party if the staff determines that the process is reasonably necessary for an impartial investigation, determination, or conciliation of the case. (e) The commission's staff may issue subpoenas and subpoenas duces tecum to take the deposition of any person as part of its impartial investigation. A deposition taken during an investigation may be offered in evidence at a hearing convened under 6 AAC 30.410 - 6 AAC 30.497 if the party taking the deposition informs the parties to the investigation and the person whose deposition is taken of its intended use.
