Section XLV-11107 - Disposition of Investigation

A. If, having conducted an investigation, the investigating officers determine that there is probable cause to believe that a licensee has engaged or is engaging in conduct, acts or omissions constituting legal cause under the law for the revocation, suspension, or the imposition of probation on the license, certification, or permit of the subject licensee, the investigating officers shall file with the committee an administrative complaint against the licensee pursuant to §11109 Before filing an administrative complaint with the committee, the investigating officers shall give notice by mail to the subject licensee of the intent to file an administrative complaint, including a copy of the proposed complaint or statement of the facts or conduct which the investigating officers believe warrant the initiation of enforcement proceedings by administrative complaint, and the licensee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to show compliance with all lawful requirements for the retention of licensure and to persuade the investigating officers that an administrative complaint is not justified or warranted.

B. If, having conducted an investigation, the investigating officers determine that there is insufficient evidence to establish legal cause for formal action by the committee, the investigating officers may recommend to the committee that the investigation be dismissed or concluded without formal action.

C. Investigating officers may also recommend that an investigation be concluded or otherwise disposed of pursuant to consent order or other informal disposition which has been agreed to in writing by the licensee.
