SECTION 435:3-3-1. Investigations

  Any person may file a complaint with the Board in regard to any person licensed or certified by the Board. Complaints may be written or oral. The Staff may require complainants to reduce oral complaints to writing. The Staff may inquire of a complainant for any additional useful information related to the complaint. The Staff shall investigate all credible complaints over which the Board would reasonably have jurisdiction. In addition, the Staff may refer complaints to other entities, such as the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation, Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, appropriate District Attorney or Oklahoma State Medical Association, for action when the Board lacks jurisdiction. Further, the Staff may report alleged criminal violations to appropriate law enforcement agencies.
