Section 7 AAC 27.675 - Informal review of isolation or quarantine orders(a) An individual who is subject to an isolation or quarantine order issued by the superior court under AS 18.15.385(d) may seek to terminate the isolation or quarantine order by requesting an informal review by the department. The individual may seek informal review, no sooner than 15 days after the court issues the order of quarantine or isolation, unless the court order specifies an alternative date. (b) An individual may initiate an informal review by contacting the department, telephonically or in writing, and providing the reasons the individual believes that the individual poses no substantial risk of transmitting a contagious or possibly contagious disease to others. The department will, not later than 48 hours after receiving the request for informal review, offer an opportunity for an informal telephonic hearing and will accept written evidence and arguments submitted by the individual subject to the order and medical staff of the department. Not later than 48 hours after the informal hearing, the department will issue a written determination terminating the isolation or quarantine order or setting out the reasons that the order cannot be terminated. (c) A court order for isolation or quarantine remains in effect throughout the period of an informal review sought under this section. (d) Nothing in this section prohibits an individual subject to an isolation or quarantine order from applying for an order to show cause why the isolation or quarantine order should not be terminated under AS 18.15.385(j). However, if an individual applies for an order to show cause while an informal review is pending, the department will stay or terminate the informal review process.Eff. 12/29/2006, Register 180; am 12/29/2013, Register 208, January 2014Authority:AS 18.05.010
