A person claiming that a licensee has engaged or is engaging in conduct constituting grounds for disciplinary action may file with the executive secretary a written complaint stating the name and address of the licensee complained against. The complaint must fully detail the conduct upon which the complaint is made.

The licensee complained against has 20 days to answer after service of the complaint. The answer may admit, deny, qualify, or explain the allegations contained in the complaint. A commission member, the executive secretary, or an agent of the commission may file a complaint. The executive secretary may reject a complaint if it does not meet the requirements of this section.
