All testimony is under oath. All proceedings are public unless the members vote to go into executive session. Within thirty days after completion of deliberations, the commission will publish a written report of its findings and conclusions. Anyone found to have committed a violation of the ethics code may appeal a decision to the Franklin Circuit Court. Contents may include: Documentation of complaint; Summary of investigative findings; Relative evidence; Sixty-day letter (notification to person being investigated); Correspondence (from violator, his attorney, to violator with determination of action or decision).
