Universal Citation: 8 AK Admin Code 8 AAC 45.095

Current through February 24, 2025

(a) An employee who, having been properly served with a request for release of information, feels that the information requested is not relevant to the injury must, within 14 days after service of the request, petition for a prehearing under 8 AAC 45.065.

(b) If after a prehearing the board or its designee determines that information sought from the employee is not relevant to the injury that is the subject of the claim, a protective order will be issued.

(c) If after a prehearing an order to release information is issued and an employee refuses to sign a release, the board will, in its discretion, limit the issues at the hearing on the claim to the propriety of the employee's refusal. If after the hearing the board finds that the employee's refusal to sign the requested release was unreasonable, the board will, in its discretion, refuse to order or award compensation until the employee has signed the release.
