Commission abates Perras matter until statute of limitations, adopts administrative dismissals

The commission voted on an amended motion to pause action on a matter involving Mr. Perras until the applicable statute of limitations runs or the case is dismissed.

"We have a, a motion to abate the matter until the statute of limitation runs on the matter still pending," Speaker 2 said when moving the measure, and the motion was seconded. The motion was amended so the abatement would last until the statute runs, or until the matter is dismissed or reported back to the commission; the mover accepted the amendment. After a voice vote in which members said "aye," the presiding member declared the motion carried; a person identified in the record as "Pete" was noted when commissioners were asked about opposition.

Separately, the commission reviewed a set of administrative dismissals recommended by commission staff. "These items reflect the the commission staff's administrative dismissals of complaints that were filed," Speaker 1 said while introducing the items. Commissioners moved and voted to adopt the staff recommendations, recording ayes and no named opposition for those items.

The body also considered certification-related dismissals. On a process-server certification item, commissioners accepted staff recommendations and voted to adopt the administrative dismissal. On a call-reporter certification item, a commissioner noted a prior employment relationship with the individual involved and asked that the commission, rather than the deputy director, handle that item; the commission then moved and voted to adopt the dismissal for the call-reporter certification matter.

Commissioners thanked investigative and administrative staff during the session and noted the importance of having in-person room layout for hearings. The commission set its next hearing slot for May 1, 2026, contingent on clerk availability, and then adjourned the meeting.

The record shows the commission treated the Perras matter as a procedural abatement tied to a limitations period and took no disciplinary action at this session; administrative dismissals were adopted as recommended by staff.
