Section 26.05.04.02 - Complaints

A. A person may file a complaint with the Board alleging that a licensee or an applicant for a license has violated the provisions of this chapter. Complaints should be in writing and state in detail those facts related to the alleged violation. On receipt of a written complaint or on its own motion, the Board shall cause an investigation to be conducted of each allegation of an act prohibited by this chapter to determine whether formal action will be taken against the licensee or applicant. A person who filed a complaint shall be informed of the action taken or to be taken.

B. The Board does not normally investigate complaints or take any action against a licensee or applicant for alleged actions that occurred 3 or more years before the date the complaint is received by the Board. In unusual circumstances, such as in cases involving allegations of fraud, the Board may investigate and take action against a licensee for actions that occurred more than 3 years before a complaint is received by the Board.
