| (a) A county tax assessor-collector who suspects possible
fraud, waste, or abuse by an employee, motor vehicle dealer, deputy,
or any person transacting motor vehicle-related business for or with
the county may submit a request to the CID for review and possible
investigation. The CID may forward a submission to an appropriate
law enforcement entity.
(b) To submit a request to the CID for review and possible
investigation, the county tax assessor-collector must:
(1) request a rejection of the suspected transaction
through a department regional service center; and
(2) mail or e-mail the following documents and information,
as applicable, to the CID in an envelope or e-mail message marked
"Red Flag":
(A) the original transaction;
(B) a detailed narrative, including:

email address and phone number;
(ii) the name of the employee submitting the transaction
to the CID;

employee or deputy is suspected of committing fraud, waste, or abuse;

an employee, motor vehicle dealer, or any person transacting motor
vehicle-related business for or with the deputy, the deputy must report
the suspected fraud, waste, or abuse to the county tax assessor-collector.
The county tax assessor-collector may then submit a request to the
CID for review and possible investigation in accordance with subsection

after reviewing a request submitted by a county tax assessor-collector,
