Does any SEA officially permit a complainant to amend a state complaint more than 30 days into the complaint investigation completion timeline? A complainant asked permission to amend the state complaint to include new issues and proposed resolutions. Our regulations do not include any specific procedures on amending a complaint, especially this far into the process. I can see the benefit of not requiring an individual to file a new complaint; but I also see the negatives because it could be abused and create conclusion and finality issues for both LEAs and complaint investigators.
