Section 10916 - Evidence Compilation Period: Department Informal Resolution

(a) The evidence compilation process referred to in Section 10914 shall be completed no later than 180 days from the date that a complaint was filed with the recipient or from the date when the Department otherwise had reasonable cause to believe that a violation of this Subchapter had occurred, whichever comes first.

(b) At any time prior to the expiration of such 180-day time period for compilation of evidence, the Department may informally resolve the complaint. Any such resolution may (if the Department determines that the substantial nature of the matters involved, the scope of the problems presented, or the probability that the facts which gave rise to the matter will recur) be set forth in a written conciliation agreement which the complainant has had an opportunity to review at least 20 days prior to the execution of such agreement by the Department and the recipient.
