Tenn. Comp. R. & Regs. 0880-11-.18 - COMPLAINTS AND INVESTIGATIONS

(1) The Committee finds that the Division's Complaint and Investigations procedures fully comply with the requirements of T.C.A. §§ 63-28-115 and 116 and adopts those procedures as its own. Copies of those procedures may be obtained by a written request addressed to the Administrative Office.

(2) The only circumstance in which the Committee would consider employing private investigators would be if a conflict of interest existed between the person being investigated and the Division's investigative staff, and then only if all other resources of that nature within state government were exhausted without effect. If that should ever occur, the process for employing a private investigator would be the competitive bid process used by the State of Tennessee in employing all outside vendors.
