23 AAC 10.110 - Reimbursement of researching and duplicating costs

(a) A justice agency that researches, produces and provides information and documentary or other physical evidence to the victims' advocate in response to a request for information under AS 24.65.120 or AS 24.65.130, or another provision of AS 24.65, or attempts to do so, may not charge a cost or fee to the office of victims' rights for duplicating, copying or other costs or expenses incurred.

(b) A private person, business, or organization that researches, produces and provides information and documentary or other physical evidence to the victims' advocate in response to a request for information under AS 24.65.120 or AS 24.65.130, or attempts to do so, may receive limited compensation from the office of victims' rights, but only for the ordinary, reasonable, and actual duplicating costs incurred, to a maximum of $50 for each investigation. A private person, business or organization seeking reimbursement shall submit an invoice in writing to the victims' advocate within 10 calendar days following the delivery of the information and documentary or other physical evidence, or the date of the scheduled hearing at which the information and documentary or other physical evidence was provided, whichever is sooner. The office of victims' rights will not pay or reimburse for expenses associated with information, documents, or objects not provided to the victims' advocate. A private person, business, or organization that submits an invoice for allowable costs after the deadline set in this subsection irrevocably waives the right to any reimbursement for that investigation. Expenses incurred or claimed to have been incurred by a private person, business, or organization for legal, accounting, data compilation, or other similar expert or professional costs or expenses are not reimbursable.
