⤴ Up to Chapter 1: State-Based Administrative Complaint Procedures

Regulation Text

(a) When a complaint has not been finally resolved within the ninety (90) day period, the complaint shall be referred by the Secretary of State to the Wyoming Attorney General or other qualified individual for alternative dispute resolution procedures.
(b) When complaints have been consolidated and some Complainants have not consented to an extension of the ninety (90) day deadline, their complaints shall be subject to separation from the others and treatment under this section.
(c) The person designated to provide the alternate dispute resolution, hereafter referred to as the ADR hearing officer, shall have a copy of the agency record of the proceedings.
(d) With one exception, the ADR hearing officer shall adhere to the Complaint Procedures established in this chapter in resolving the complaint.

Conduct of the hearing in accordance with these procedures does not alter the authority of the Secretary of State as the final decision maker.
