| 2. Investigation of complaints.__Upon receiving a written and |
signed complaint alleging a violation of this chapter relating to |
the payment of state aid in any form to a licensee, the |
commissioner may investigate the alleged violation and employ |
such agents and counsel as necessary to aid in the investigation.__ |
Expenses incurred for an investigation under this subsection are |
paid out of the general appropriation for state aid to licensees. |
When an investigation determines that a licensee has violated |
this chapter, the expense of the investigation is paid from the |
amount that would otherwise have been paid to that licensee. If a |
licensee against which the complaint is made receives its aid by |
special enactment, then the expense of the investigation is paid |
from the appropriation for that licensee. |
