Section 71-171.01
Violations; department; Attorney General; powers and duties.

The department shall provide the Attorney General with a copy of all complaints it receives and advise the Attorney General of investigations it makes which may involve any possible violation of statutes or rules and regulations by the credentialed person. The Attorney General shall then determine which, if any, statutes, rules, or regulations the credentialed person has violated and the appropriate legal action to take. The Attorney General may: (1) Elect to file a petition under section 71-150 or not to file a petition; (2) negotiate a voluntary surrender or voluntary limitation pursuant to section 71-161.11; or (3) in cases involving a technical or insubstantial violation, refer the matter to the appropriate professional board for the opportunity to resolve the matter by issuance of a letter of concern or to recommend to the Attorney General that he or she enter into an assurance of compliance with the credentialed person in lieu of filing a petition. Neither a letter of concern nor an assurance of compliance shall constitute discipline against a credentialed person.
