Recommendations

(a)If, after investigation, the Suruhanu is of the opinion that an agency should:

(1)consider the matter further;

(2)modify or cancel an act;

(3)alter a regulation, practice or ruling;

(4)explain more fully the act in question;

(5)rectify an omission; or

(6)take any other action; he shall state his recommendations and reasons therefor to the agency. If the Suruhanu so requests, the agency shall, within the time he has specified, inform him about the action taken on his recommendation or the reasons for not complying with them. After a reasonable period of time has elapsed, the Suruhanu may issue a report.

(b)If the Suruhanu believes that an action has been dictated by laws whose results are unfair or otherwise objectionable and should be revised, he shall bring his views concerning desirable statutory change to the attention of the Legislature and agency.

(c)If the Suruhanu believes that any person has acted in a manner warranting criminal or disciplinary proceedings, he shall refer the matter to the appropriate authorities without notice to that person.
