Form and contents of complaint. A complaint 8 8 shall be in writing. 8 9 Complaint forms shall be available from the chief 8 10 clerk of the house, but a complaint shall not be 8 11 rejected for failure to use the approved form if it 8 12 complies with the requirements of these rules. The 8 13 complaint shall contain a certification made by the 8 14 complainant, under penalty of perjury, that the facts 8 15 stated in the complaint are true to the best of the 8 16 complainant's knowledge. 8 17 To be valid, a complaint shall allege all of the 8 18 following: 8 19 (1) Facts, including the approximate date and 8 20 location of any event, incident, or transaction that, 8 21 if true, establish a violation of a provision of 8 22 chapter 68B of the Code, the house code of ethics, or 8 23 house rules governing lobbyists for which penalties or 8 24 other remedies are provided. 8 25 (2) That the conduct providing the basis for the 8 26 complaint occurred within three years of the filing of 8 27 the complaint. 8 28 (3) That the party charged with a violation is a 8 29 member or employee of the house, a lobbyist, or a 8 30 client of a lobbyist. 9 1 d. Confidentiality of complaint. The filing of 9 2 the complaint and the contents of the complaint shall 9 3 be confidential until the time that the committee 9 4 meets to determine whether the complaint is valid, 9 5 unless either the complainant or the party charged in 9 6 the complaint makes the existence of, or the 9 7 information contained in, the complaint public. 9 8 However, if either the complainant or party alleged to 9 9 have committed the violation requests that the meeting 9 10 to determine whether the complaint is valid be a 9 11 closed meeting and the filing of the complaint or the 9 12 contents of the complaint have not been disclosed, the 9 13 meeting shall be closed. 9 14 e.

At the request of the accused person, the 9 30 committee may extend the time for the response, not to 10 1 exceed ten additional calendar days. 10 2 f. Hearing regarding validity of complaint. The 10 3 committee chairperson and the ranking member shall 10 4 review the complaint and supporting information to 10 5 determine whether the complaint meets the requirements 10 6 as to form. If the complaint is deficient as to form, 10 7 the complaint shall be returned to the complainant 10 8 with instructions indicating the deficiency unless the 10 9 committee decides to proceed on its own motion. If 10 10 the complaint is in writing and contains the 10 11 appropriate certification, as soon as practicable, the 10 12 chairperson shall call a meeting of the committee to 10 13 review the complaint to determine whether the 10 14 complaint meets the requirements for validity and 10 15 whether the committee should request that the chief 10 16 justice of the supreme court appoint an independent 10 17 special counsel to conduct an investigation to 10 18 determine whether probable cause exists to believe 10 19 that a violation of the house code of ethics, house 10 20 rules governing lobbyists, or chapter 68B of the Code, 10 21 has occurred. 10 22 If the committee finds that a complaint does not 10 23 meet the content requirements for a valid complaint, 10 24 the committee shall dismiss the complaint and notify 10 25 both the complainant and the party alleged to have 10 26 committed the violation of the dismissal and the 10 27 reasons for dismissal.

If the dismissal is based upon 11 3 a failure to allege facts and circumstances necessary 11 4 for a valid complaint, the dismissal shall be with 11 5 prejudice and the party shall not be permitted to file 11 6 a complaint based upon the same facts and 11 7 circumstances. 11 8 g. Request for appointment of independent special 11 9 counsel. If, after review of the complaint and any 11 10 response made by the party alleged to have committed 11 11 the violation, the committee determines that the 11 12 complaint meets the requirements for form and content, 11 13 the committee shall request that the chief justice of 11 14 the supreme court appoint independent special counsel 11 15 to investigate the matter and determine whether 11 16 probable cause exists to believe that a violation of 11 17 chapter 68B of the Code, the house code of ethics, or 11 18 the house rules governing lobbyists has occurred. 11 19 h. Receipt of report of independent special 11 20 counsel.

As 11 27 soon as practicable after the filing of the report, 11 28 the chairperson shall schedule a public meeting for 11 29 review of the report. The purpose of the public 11 30 meeting shall be to determine whether the complaint 12 1 should be dismissed, whether a formal hearing should 12 2 be held on the complaint, or whether other committee 12 3 action is appropriate. The complainant and the person 12 4 alleged to have committed the violation shall be given 12 5 notice of the public meeting, shall have the right to 12 6 be present at the public meeting, and may, at the 12 7 discretion of the committee, present testimony in 12 8 support of or against the recommendations contained in 12 9 the report. 12 10 If the committee determines that the matter should 12 11 be dismissed, the committee shall cause an order to be 12 12 entered dismissing the matter and notice of the 12 13 dismissal shall be given to the complainant and the 12 14 party alleged to have committed the violation. If the 12 15 committee determines that the complaint should be 12 16 scheduled for formal hearing, the committee shall 12 17 issue a charging statement which contains the charges 12 18 and supporting facts that are to be set for formal 12 19 hearing and notice shall be sent to the complainant 12 20 and the accused person. 12 21 The notice shall include a statement of the nature 12 22 of the charge or charges, a statement of the time and 12 23 place of hearing, a short and plain statement of the 12 24 facts asserted, and a statement of the rights of the 12 25 accused person at the hearing. 12 26 i.
