S.C. Code Regs. § 52-704 - Complaint Procedures
A. Upon receipt of a complaint, the Commission sends a copy of the complaint to the Respondent advising that a complaint has been received.
(1) The Executive Director or his designee reviews the complaint and determines if there are facts sufficient to warrant going forward with an investigation.
(2) If the Executive Director or his designee determines the facts are not sufficient, the complaint is dismissed; the parties notified; and the matter is stricken from the public record. The existence of a complaint and dismissal remains confidential unless the Respondent waives confidentiality in writing.
(3) A complaint which has been dismissed may be refiled to allege new or additional facts.
B. If the Executive Director or his designee determines there are facts sufficient, the Respondent and Complainant are notified and the complaint is referred to Commission staff including any other State agencies as may be deemed necessary for investigation.
