(a) The Commissioner may accept the control determination of a state which is a lead investigative state in the multistate licensing process if the Commissioner determines that the state has sufficient staffing, expertise and minimum standards for the purposes of this section; and
(b) If this State is a lead investigative state in the multistate licensing process, the Commissioner may investigate the person in the time frames established by agreement through the multistate licensing process.
