- 1). Determine if the subject of the complaint is the lieutenant governor or the governor of Alaska. Only matters concerning these officials will be considered by the Alaska State Personnel Board.
- 2). Write your complaint to the Alaska Attorney General's Office. The written complaint must be as clear and detailed as possible.
- 3). Sign the complaint under oath.
- 4). The attorney general or his staff will refer the matter to the Alaska State Personnel Board.
- 5). The Alaska State Personnel Board retains independent legal counsel to investigate complaints in place of the attorney general. The attorney general does not investigate cases involving the governor or lieutenant governor.
- 6). Independent counsel will review the complaint. You may be required to provide counsel with additional information to help him make a decision. You will be notified of counsel's decision. There is no time limit on the length of the investigation. If counsel finds the complaint to be valid, he will send a notice to the accused.
- 7). The accused has 20 days to respond to a notice of complaint from the counsel. Not responding is considered an admission of guilt, and the matter is referred to the Alaska State Personnel Board, which will decide a penalty. If the accused denies the allegations, the matter is still referred to the board.
- 8). The personnel board contacts the Alaska chief administrative law court judge who, in turn, will assign an administrative law court judge to preside over a hearing on the allegations.
