Section 1VAC45-20-60 - Filing referrals to state and federal agencies

A. Complaints that are under the jurisdiction of another state agency are considered filed with that agency when received by the division provided the time limit for filing with the other agency has not expired.

B. The division may establish interagency agreements with other state agencies for purposes of carrying out its referral functions.

C. If the director or the director's designee determines that the complaint is not within the division's jurisdiction, but possibly in the jurisdiction of another state or federal agency, the complaint shall be promptly sent to the appropriate agency after such determination. The complainant shall be notified of this action and provided with a reason for the referral. Once the complaint has been referred to the appropriate agency and the complainant has received notification of the referral, the division shall close the case.
