The board on its own motion, or on receiving a complaint or other information suggesting violations of this chapter or board rules, may conduct or direct an authorized committee to conduct an initial analysis, which shall be completed before the board may open an investigation file pursuant to subsection B to determine whether reasonable cause exists to believe that there is a violation of this chapter or board rules.
