1. The Board or a committee of its members designated by the Board shall review every complaint filed with the Board and conduct an investigation to determine whether there is a reasonable basis for compelling a homeopathic physician to take a mental or physical examination or an examination of his or her competence to practice homeopathic medicine.
2. If a committee is designated, it must be composed of at least three members of the Board, at least one of whom is a licensed homeopathic physician.
3. If, from the complaint or from other official records, it appears that the complaint is not frivolous and the complaint charges gross or repeated malpractice, the Board may:
(a) Retain the Attorney General to investigate the complaint; and
(b) If the Board retains the Attorney General, transmit the original complaint, along with further facts or information derived from its own review, to the Attorney General.
4. Following an investigation, the committee shall present its evaluation and recommendations to the Board. The Board shall review the committee’s findings to determine whether to take any further action, but a member of the Board who participated in the investigation may not participate in this review or in any subsequent hearing or action taken by the Board.
