Kansas Administrative Regulations
Agency 21 - KANSAS HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION
Article 42 - INVESTIGATION
Section 21-42-3 - Investigating commissioner
Whenever an investigation of a complaint is initiated, an investigating commissioner shall be assigned the case. Whenever an investigation is initiated without the filing of a formal complaint, an investigating commissioner may be assigned to the case. The investigating commissioner so assigned shall have the same powers of discovery in the name of the commission as are provided in these rules for any commissioner or presiding officer relative to any hearing or other proceeding, including the power of subpoena per K.A.R. 21-42-2 and 21-45-9; and discovery dispositions in the same nature as provided by K.A.R. 21-45-10. If a formal complaint shall issue from the investigation, the same investigating commissioner shall be assigned to that complaint unless, in the judgment of the chairman, a new appointment should be made. The investigating commissioner may not participate in any subsequent proceedings which may eventually be held as a result of such investigation other than as a witness.
