investigation  of  an  allegation  of  abuse or neglect, but in no event
later than thirty days after the subject of the report is notified  that

challenge the determination that a report is substantiated,  with  a  de
novo standard of review.
(b) If the administrative law judge determines that the justice center
failed  to prove by a preponderance of the evidence the finding that the
subject committed the act or acts  of  abuse  or  neglect,  the  justice
center  shall  amend the record to reflect that such a finding was made,
and shall promptly notify the  subject  of  the  report  and  any  other
persons  or  entities previously notified of the existence of the report
of the amended finding. Such report shall be sealed in  accordance  with
the  standards  set  forth  in  section  four hundred ninety-six of this
