Purpose: All complaints are initially evaluated by a three-member Probable Cause Review Board whose members are appointed by the Governor. The Review Board determines whether the allegations in the Complaint, if taken as true, state a material violation of the Ethics Act. Complaints which do not state a material violation of the Act are dismissed. A material violation is one which is not trivial or inconsequential. Also, the Act's statute of limitations provision provides that complaints must be filed within five years of an alleged Ethics Act violation.

If the allegations in the complaint are sufficient, they will be investigated. The Review Board has the authority to subpoena evidence and testimony, although no person alleged to have violated the Act is required to give testimony. If the investigation shows probable cause that a violation has occurred, the complaint may proceed to a public hearing.
