Sec. 27-102m. Commissioner to investigate complaints re conduct or treatment of veterans or family members. The commissioner, in his discretion, shall investigate all complaints made to him with respect to the conduct or treatment of veterans,
their spouses, or eligible dependents and family members receiving services under this
chapter, or any program administered by the department and for such purpose shall have
power to compel the attendance of witnesses under oath. If upon the completion of such
investigation, the commissioner finds that any veteran, spouse or eligible dependent has
not received proper care or has been ill treated or abused by any officer or employee,
the commissioner shall, in his discretion, cause the offender to be prosecuted, disciplined
or dismissed and shall order such remedial action as he deems necessary to eliminate
the condition. If upon such investigation, the commissioner finds that no adequate
grounds exist for such complaint, the commissioner shall certify that fact to the officer
or employee involved and cause such officer's or employee's record to be cleared of
the incident.
