30 Miss. Code. R. 901-18.2
Upon the filing of charges or information in accordance with Rule 18.1, the executive director shall refer them to a designated Board member. If the charges or information are first made by or through a Board member and if the executive director makes a determination that the Board member's objectivity is not impaired, the executive director will select that Board member as the designated Board member; otherwise, the designated Board member shall be selected on a rotating basis. If any Board member selected as a designated Board member, whether by the bringing of charges or information or on a rotating basis, can show reasonable cause that he or she should not be the designated Board member, or if the executive director makes a determination that the Board member's objectivity is subject to a reasonable charge of being impaired, then such charges or information shall be referred to the Board member next in line of rotation.
The designated Board member may institute an investigation of the charges and, after consultation with the Executive Director and the Board's attorney, determine whether to proceed with a letter of admonition, a consent order, an informal conference, or a formal disciplinary hearing.
Neither the designated Board member nor any Board member disqualified in the process of selecting the designated Board member shall sit as a member of the Board in any disciplinary hearing resulting from that investigation.
