The commission shall notify in writing the person making the complaint, the home inspector complained against, and any other affected parties of the results of the informal consultation and any action taken. Informal consultation does not prevent the commission from thereafter conducting a formal hearing.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Source:</b> 27 SDR 7, effective January 1, 2001.</p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>General Authority:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=36-21C-6">36-21C-6(5).</A></p> <p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <b>Law Implemented:</b>SDCL <A HREF="/statutes/DisplayStatute.aspx?Type=Statute&Statute=36-21C-6">36-21C-6(5).</A></p> </div> </body> </html>
