The information required includes the name and addresses of the complainant and the respondent, a concise statement of the complaint with facts supporting the allegation that a violation has occurred and a statement of the relief sought. The complainant shall sign the form.
In instances in which the Board is presented with prima facie evidence of a violation of the Law or the Rules and Regulations, a written statement of charges by the complainant will not be required. The Board on its own initiative, may investigate or cause to be investigated, any allegation or evidence which appears to show that a licensed psychologist or an unlicensed person is, or may be, in violation of the law or rules and regulations governing the practice of psychology in the State of Mississippi.
No investigative action will be taken regarding submissions that are neither prima facie evidence nor accompanied by the written statement of charges.
Following the receipt of such charges or prima facie evidence, the Board will proceed to investigate, and unless dismissed as frivolous, unfounded, or filed in bad faith, will proceed in accordance with the provisions of the statute involved.
