Whenever any matter is brought to the attention of a member of the commission or the executive director which appears to raise an issue of a violation of the relevant law, the executive director is authorized to conduct a preliminary inquiry on the issue of whether there are facts sufficient to support the appearance of a violation. At the conclusion of a preliminary inquiry, the executive director shall report to the commission. The commission shall thereafter determine whether further investigation is required.
