## Text

Section 504
Section 504.60  Investigation
of Major Disciplinary Reports
a)         The Chief Administrative Officer shall appoint one or more
Hearing Investigators who shall review all major disciplinary reports.
1)         The Hearing Investigator may conduct an investigation into the
charges as determined to be appropriate.  This determination may be based,
among other matters, upon the severity of the offense, the complexity of the
charges or the offender's admission of guilt.  The investigation may include an
investigation of additional charges.
2)         The Hearing Investigator may correct or direct the reporting
employee to correct any errors in the disciplinary report.  The offender shall
be provided with a copy of the corrected report.  In the event the corrected
report contains new charges, the offender shall be provided a copy of the corrected
report at least 24 hours prior to the hearing unless the offender waives this
notice.
3)         The Hearing Investigator may interview any person who may have
information that relates to the alleged violation and may inspect any physical
evidence.
4)         The Hearing Investigator shall determine whether to submit a
report to the Adjustment Committee, based upon the results of the
investigation. However, if the investigation reveals evidence of a convincing
nature that the offender did not commit the offense, that evidence must be
reported to the Adjustment Committee.
5)         Any report may be submitted in writing or presented orally, as
determined by the Hearing Investigator.
b)         If the offender has been diagnosed as seriously mentally ill
and the sanction for the offense may result in a period of segregation, a
mental health professional shall be assigned to review the offender's mental
health records and disciplinary report to determine if the offender's mental
illness contributed to the underlying behavior of the offense.
