(a) All agreements between or among parties that are
reached as a result of Alternative Dispute Resolution must be committed
to writing, signed by the respondent or applicant and a Board staff
attorney and submitted to the Board for approval. Once signed by the
Board, the agreement will have the same force and effect as a written
contract.
(b) If the Board does not approve a proposed settlement,
the respondent or applicant will be so informed and the matter will
be referred to the Director of Standards and Enforcement to pursue
appropriate action.
