R608-1-9. Investigation-Report

A. Within 30 days of the filing of a complaint, the Division shall commence proceedings to throughly investigate and, if possible, conciliate the complaint.

B. The Division shall complete its investigation within 100 days after filing of a complaint. If the Division is unable to do, it shall notify the parties in writing of the reason for the delay.

C. The Division may, with reasonable notice to the parties, conduct on-site visits, interviews, and fact-finding conferences, and take such other action as is reasonably necessary to investigate the complaint. Pursuant to Section 57-21-8(2)(c) of the Act, the Commission may issue subpoenas to compel production of necessary evidence. Additionally, a party's unjustified failure to cooperate with the Division's reasonable investigative requests may result in the Division concluding its investigation based on such other information as is available to the Division.

D. The Division shall prepare a final investigative report on each complaint, which shall include:

1. A summary of all contacts with complainants and respondents, including the dates of such contacts;

2. A summary of contacts with witnesses, including the dates of contact; and

3. A summary of pertinent records.
