A designated board staff member may conduct an informal conference or conferences during the course of the investigation to clarify issues or to explore voluntary resolution. The board staff member holding the settlement conference must not disclose or discuss any settlement discussions with the board or any hearing officer who may be assigned to hear the case.
If, after the investigation, the charge is found to have no reasonable basis in law or fact, the board must advise the charging party of this fact and give the charging party the opportunity to withdraw the charge.
