Policy Directives

The Commission considered and adopted Policy Directives regarding Enforcement Division case reduction and efficiency at its January 26, 2023 meeting. Generally, the Policy Directives require the Enforcement Division to accomplish the following:

1. Reduce the number of cases in existence prior to 2023 by 75% no later than December 31, 2024;
2. Reduce and ensure that, for the foreseeable future, the number of carryover cases is no more than 625 as soon as practicable; and
3. Strive to resolve complaints and referrals within two years of receipt, except where the Enforcement Chief determines that circumstances warrant a longer period of time.
