During the term of any license issued under these Rules, the Commission, in accordance with § 20-2A-52(a), Code of Ala. 1975, (as amended), acting on information received or for other reasonable cause or suspicion, may investigate any alleged violation by the licensee of the Act or these Rules, as well the licensee's owners, officers, directors, interest holders, administration, management, or employees. Investigations may be conducted by the Commission through its employees, or through an independent third party, a state agency, or any combination thereof. Such investigations shall ensure license eligibility, compliance with the Act and these Rules, and consistency with representations made to the Commission in the documents submitted by the licensee. The fact of an investigation pursuant to this rule may or may not be disclosed to the licensee while the investigation is ongoing. Results of any investigation, to the extent revelatory of any issue of concern to the Commission, shall be made known to the licensee, who shall be given an opportunity to respond, to the extent it did not have the opportunity to do so previously.
