PROCEDURE FOR
FILING COMPLAINTS
|
A potential violation of any law administered by the Board of Ethics can be reported by submitting a complaint to the address below:
|
LOUISIANA ETHICS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM
P.O. Box 4368
Baton Rouge
,
Louisiana
70821
|
Complaints filed with the Board must be in writing and signed by the person submitting the complaint. The complaint should also contain sufficient information for the Board to determine whether a potential violation of any law within the Board's jurisdiction is presented. Complaints are confidential and it takes a vote of at least eight members of the Board to refer a complaint to investigation. Persons filing non-sworn complaints only receive notification of the final disposition of the complaint. Alternatively, a complaint may be sworn before a notary. Such a sworn complaint may be referred to investigation by a majority of the Board. Persons filing sworn complaints will be notified by the Board of any action taken on the complaint.
It is a misdemeanor to reveal any information about an Ethics Board investigation.
