List of Forms and Instructions

PURPOSE:

The rule is being amended to update a form which is incorporated by reference in subsection (1)(b) of the rule.

In particular, the amended complaint form: (1) shortens language about filing one complaint per respondent; (2) eliminates specific references to the Sunshine Amendment and Code of Ethics, substituting instead the phrase "ethics law"; (3) asks that the complaint not exceed 15 pages; (4) rephrases language concerning the submission of media materials; and (5) provides instructions concerning how to complete each part of the form.
