A. When the results of the supervisory committee's investigation indicate that a knowing, willful,
and fraudulent violation or an intentional criminal violation of this Chapter has occurred, the supervisory
committee shall forward all information concerning the alleged violation to the district attorney of the
judicial district in which the alleged violation has occurred who shall review such information and make such
investigation and initiate such prosecution as he shall deem necessary; except, if the violation occurred with
regard to a campaign for the office of district attorney for the judicial district in which the violation took
place, the committee shall forward all information concerning the alleged violation to the attorney general
who, for cause, when authorized by the court which would have original jurisdiction and subject to judicial
review, shall proceed with such criminal prosecutions as are provided by this Chapter.
B. Only the district attorney or attorney general may initiate criminal actions under the provisions
of this Chapter. Initiation of such criminal actions by the district attorney or attorney general shall be on the

on the basis of such other information as may be available to the district attorney or the attorney general.
The supervisory committee shall have no authority to initiate prosecution.
