Investigation

Complaints, requests for investigation, and reports of acts or omissions that are in violation of North Dakota Century Code chapter 43-12.1 or are grounds for disciplinary action will be investigated by the board or by its direction in order to determine whether sufficient grounds exist to file a complaint according to North Dakota Century Code chapter 28-32. The board or its investigative panel may subpoena witnesses, records, and any other evidence relating to the investigation. Any medical record of an individual, or any other document containing personal health information which is obtained by the board, is an exempt record as defined in North Dakota Century Code section 44-04-17.1.
