Section R2-20-305 - Reporting Suspected Violations

A. Persons who have information that causes them to believe that there has been a violation of a statute or a rule set forth in this Article or that a Commissioner should not participate in a Commission decision, shall report promptly, in writing, such information to the Commission's Chair or Executive Director.

B. When information made available to the Commission under subsection (A) indicates a conflict between the interests of a Commissioner or employee and the performance of his or her Commission duties, the Commissioner or employee shall be provided notice of the conflict issue and an opportunity to explain the conflict or appearance of conflict in writing. In the case of a Commissioner, the response shall be due five days from the issuance of the notice. The Commission's Chair or Executive Director may decline to require a response if the claim is clearly meritless and, in such event, no response is required. In such cases, the Commission's Chair or Executive Director shall state in writing why the claim is clearly meritless and provide the writing to the person who provided the information and the Commissioner.
