Which statement about Board investigations categories is true?

• A. There are three categories
• B. There are four categories
• C. There are two categories
• D. There are five categories

Answer: (A)

The Board uses three categories to classify investigations, which is why this statement is true. This three-tier structure lets the agency handle cases efficiently and apply the appropriate level of scrutiny and action based on the nature and severity of the issue. The investigative workflow typically moves from initial intake and triage to a formal investigation and then to final disposition or enforcement, with each stage corresponding to a different category. The Board’s rules and practice guidance describe three distinct categories for MRT investigations, so numbers like four, two, or five don’t align with the established framework. For study, review the MRT practice act and the Board’s administrative rules to see how each category is defined and what actions or outcomes sit at each stage.
