@rvawonk ok, but please, what does that actually mean? They recommend, than what happens? Does the DOJ then automatically charge? Do they review? Thanks in advance for any info you have. ❤️

@smudgiesmom I’ll look into it and see what I can find. I don’t know off the top of my head.

@rvawonk thank you! I will also research, I thought you might know. I think it’s an important thing for us to know.

@rvawonk what I’ve found so far is … not much. DOJ is under no obligation to act on whatever the committee recommends. 🤷🏻‍♀️
