Bill > SF1343

This bill modifies the rules for handling complaints submitted to the Board of Architecture, Engineering, Land Surveying, Landscape Architecture, Geoscience, and Interior Design (the Board) by its executive director. Specifically, the bill requires that when the executive director initiates or submits a complaint, this fact must be considered public data and must be proactively disclosed to both the Board and the person who is the subject of the complaint. Additionally, any documents related to the complaint must also be provided to the subject of the complaint, regardless of previous confidentiality provisions in section 13.41 or other applicable laws. The bill stipulates that these new transparency requirements will take effect the day after final enactment and will apply to all complaints submitted or initiated on or after that date. This change aims to increase openness and ensure that individuals under investigation are fully informed about the origins and details of complaints against them.
