Section 51.22. Initiation of proceedings

(a) When an officer of the Commission or other officer authorized to enforce the code believes that a violator of the code—one who has been convicted or acknowledged guilt for an offense thereunder—should be subject to suspension, or revocation of a license, special license, permit, registration or privilege, the officer shall submit a report outlining the facts and circumstances of the violation and other surrounding or relevant facts to the Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau. When a deputy waterways conservation officer or waterways conservation officer initiates the proceedings, the report shall be submitted through normal law enforcement channels. Each reviewer of the report shall add a recommendation as to disposition.

(b) The Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau will review the report together with the members of the Commission staff as the Executive Director shall designate for this purpose. The Director will report to the Executive Director, as to whether or not the staff recommends further action.
