§ 2-207. Notice to State's Attorney; stay of proceedings.

(a)

In any case under investigation by the Commission in which any person has been charged with a criminal offense, as defined by common law or Article 27 and Titles 11 through 27, Transportation Article, Annotated Code of Maryland, where the complaint to the Commission alleges facts that would constitute such criminal offense; or where the Commission shall reveal facts that would constitute such a criminal offense, the Commission shall give written notice to the State's Attorney of Prince George's County of the nature of the matter under investigation.

(b)

If it appears to the State's Attorney that continuation of the Commission's investigation would jeopardize a part of the anticipated criminal proceedings, the State's Attorney shall notify the Commission of this fact in writing, specifying that no formal hearing be held nor subpoena issued before the termination of the criminal proceedings. Upon receipt of such written notice from the State's Attorney, the Commission shall stay the holding of formal hearings or issuance of subpoena until the Commission is notified by the State's Attorney that the relevant criminal proceedings have terminated.
