A. Should the Office become aware of any facts or circumstances evidencing either a victim services provider's misuse of its online access or a victim services provider's failure to cooperate with the Office or the Administrative Office of the Courts, the Office may take whatever action it deems necessary and appropriate, including suspending or revoking that organization's authorization and certification. The Office shall immediately notify the Administrative Office of the Courts of any change to an organization's status as a victim services provider.

No later than 45 days after its receipt of a request, the Office will advise the organization of its final determination.

C. An organization whose authorization is revoked by the Office may reapply for authorization no earlier than 1 year from the date of revocation, unless the Office determines that a longer or shorter duration is appropriate, in which circumstance the different length of time set by the Office controls.
