DISTRICTCOMMITTEEOF EVIDENCE

the Convening Authority is the person in charge of a District Office or branch organization or the Association/Organization Secretary of the zone or the HCO Area Secretary. The District Committee of Evidence exists for all matters of dispute, repute or discipline in a District Office, its area, or a Scn group. Its powers are the same as any other Committee of Evidence except that of review of lower committees, and that it may not call before it, except as they volunteer, Central Organization or HCO Area personnel or other personnel or executives on higher echelons. The findings of this committee must be reviewed by an HCO Area Committee before the Convening Authority of the District Committee of Evidence may put the findings into effect and only those findings passed (after endorsement by the Convening Authority) by the HCO Area Committee of Evidence may be put into effect. A Central Committee of Evidence may not review a District Committee of Evidence findings even though convened by an Association Secretary. (HCO PL 7 Sept 63)
