				  an inspection by giving the alleged violation to the department. Any such
				  notice shall be in writing, shall set forth the specific grounds for the
				  notice, and shall be signed by the worker or representative of the workers. A
				  copy shall be provided to the licensee by the department no later than at the
				  time of inspection except that, upon the request of the worker giving such
				  notice, such worker's name and the name of individuals referred to therein
				  shall not appear in such copy or on any record published, released, or made

				  the complainant in writing of such determination. The complainant may obtain
				  review of such determination by submitting a written statement of position with
				  the department. The department shall provide the licensee with a copy of such
				  statement by certified mail, excluding, at the request of the complainant, the
				  name of the complainant. The licensee may submit an opposing written statement
				  of position with the department. The department shall provide the complainant
				  with a copy of such statement by certified mail.

				  without prejudice to the filing of a new complaint meeting the requirements of
				  section 11-45-194(a).
