(a) Each complaint shall result in a confidential investigative report showing a summary of the acts and/or omissions alleged, and a summary of the supporting evidence together with a recommendation for appropriate enforcement action, if any.

(b) Where the confidential investigation report shows that the allegations are supported by credible evidence that a violation of law or regulations has occurred and that the applicant, licensed appraiser, Registrant or person or entity acting in a capacity requiring a license or Certificate of Registration has committed the violation, and that the violation is substantially related to the qualifications, duties, or functions of an appraiser, the Bureau shall issue a citation and/or order of abatement, or shall file an accusation or statement of issues against the applicant, licensed appraiser, Registrant or person or entity acting in a capacity requiring a license or Certificate of Registration.

(c) Where the confidential investigative report shows that the allegations, even if true, do not constitute a violation of the law or regulations, that the allegations are not supported by sufficient credible evidence, or that the facts show a complete defense or legal justification, the investigation shall be closed.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, the Chief may release information concerning confidential investigations and complaints to a law enforcement agency or to another regulatory agency to which the appraiser or Registrant has applied for licensure.
