California Code, Business and Professions Code - BPC § 2330

Complainants against licensees of the board, including licensees of allied health boards within the jurisdiction of the board, and of the Board of Podiatric Medicine, who are subject to formal disciplinary proceedings shall be notified of the actions proposed to be taken against the licensee. This notification shall be provided only to complainants who are known to the boards.

Complainants shall be given an opportunity to provide a statement to the deputy attorney general from the Health Quality Enforcement Section who is assigned the case. These statements shall not be considered by a panel of the division, the Board of Podiatric Medicine, or other board for purposes of adjudicating the case to which the statement pertains, but may be considered by the division or those boards after the case is finally adjudicated for purposes of setting generally applicable policies and standards.
