While the Bureau does not have the authority to enforce the ethical standards of a profession, or to handle fee disputes, it does have the authority to investigate and to pursue disciplinary action against a license, registration or permit issued by the Bureau.

The Bureau, as a matter of policy, does not investigate complaints against a person or business practicing an occupation or profession without obtaining the required license. This is a criminal offense and is the primary responsibility of the local prosecuting authority, however, the Bureau does assist the prosecuting agency as requested.
