Title 9 . Law
Chapter 52 . Executive Branch Code of Ethics
Section 140. Complaints

9 AAC 52.140. Complaints

(a) The attorney general will, in the attorney general's discretion, conduct a preliminary ethics investigation before initiating or accepting a complaint. A preliminary ethics investigation and information discovered in the course of a preliminary ethics investigation is confidential to the same extent as information discovered in an ethics investigation conducted after the acceptance of a complaint.

(b) The attorney general will, in the attorney general's discretion, refer a complaint to the subject's designated supervisor under AS 39.52.310 (e) and, at the same time, accept the complaint for an ethics investigation under AS 39.52.310 (f) and (g).

(c) If the attorney general refers a complaint under AS 39.52.310 (e) and the designated supervisor determines that a violation of the Ethics Act or this chapter has occurred, the designated supervisor shall forward those findings to the attorney general for review under AS 39.52.310 - AS 39.52.350 .

(d) If an ethics complaint does not allege a violation of the Ethics Act or this chapter by the governor, lieutenant governor, or attorney general but, in the course of an ethics investigation, evidence of a potential violation by the governor, lieutenant governor, or attorney general is discovered, then the attorney general will refer the matter to the personnel board. The personnel board shall retain independent counsel in the same manner as if the complaint initially alleged those violations.
