In a staff review, the executive director reviews information and works informally with a respondent to determine whether a violation has occurred and to determine how any identified violation should be resolved.
The executive director must initiate a staff review into a matter when directed to do so by the board.
Unless otherwise directed by the board, the executive director must also initiate a staff review when a preliminary inquiry into the information provided on a report filed with the board suggests that there has been a violation of chapters 4501 to 4525, Minnesota Statutes, chapter 10A, or another law placed under the board's jurisdiction pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 10A.022, subdivision 3.
Subject to board approval under Minnesota Statutes, section 10A.022, subdivision 3a, a respondent may agree to resolve a matter under staff review by entering into a conciliation agreement. The agreement must describe any actions that the respondent has agreed to take to remedy the violation or to prevent similar violations in the future. The agreement must also include the amount of any civil penalty that the respondent has agreed to pay and any other provisions to which the respondent has agreed.
