(1) If, having considered a complaint and whatever material the Public Counsel deems pertinent, the Public Counsel is of the opinion that an administrative agency should (a) consider the matter further, (b) modify or cancel an administrative act, (c) alter a regulation or ruling, (d) explain more fully the administrative act in question, or (e) take any other step, the Public Counsel shall make recommendations to the administrative agency. If the Public Counsel so requests, the agency shall, within the time specified, inform the Public Counsel about the action taken on such recommendations or the reasons for not complying with them.

(2) If the Public Counsel believes that an administrative action has been dictated by a statute whose results are unfair or otherwise objectionable, the Public Counsel shall notify the Legislature of such views concerning desirable statutory change.
