II. When an action by a licensed interpreter does not violate the Code of Professional Conduct but has an adverse consequence to a recipient of services and/or is not standard practice, an involved participant or a concerned third party may file a complaint with the board which asks for the board to provide conflict resolution or mediation services between the parties. To accept, investigate, and act on such a filing, a majority of present board members must agree there is an opportunity for resolution that will result in an improvement of interpreting services. In these instances, there will be no possible suspension or revocation of the interpreter's license, nor shall the board be required to hold a hearing.
