Rule 291-2-.02 - Initial Review(1) A review panel of the IERB shall review all complaints received by the IERB to determine their legal sufficiency.(2) Any complaints made by an individual not authorized to file a complaint, made on forms not promulgated by the IERB, made in a manner not proscribed by the IERB, or which do not contain sufficient facts to determine whether a potential violation or failure to enforce has occurred shall not be considered by the IERB. Such determination shall not be considered either an initial or final decision of the IERB for purposes of either appeal or subject to the provisions dealing with service on the complainant or the applicable public agency or employee. Such determination shall be entered into the official records of the IERB.(3) If the review panel determines that the complaint meets the procedural requirements adopted by the board and states sufficient facts to merit further hearing before the review panel, the review panel shall set the complaint down for an initial hearing before the review panel.Ga.
