Such documentation shall be reviewed by the commission, or with respect to forensic DNA laboratories, the DNA subcommittee, and appropriate action may be taken against such laboratory, if necessary.

(b) A forensic laboratory that has received NYS accreditation shall notify the division, in writing, no later than three business days after any significant change in the management or management structure of such laboratory.
