#### 20 Notification of corruption issue identified as significant corruption issue (1) If the head of a law enforcement agency notifies the Integrity Commissioner of a corruption issue and indicates that it is a significant corruption issue, the head of the agency must: (a) give the Integrity Commissioner all the information and documents that: (i) relate to the corruption issue; and (ii) are in the possession, or under the control, of the head of the agency; and (b) stop any investigation of the corruption issue that the agency is already conducting; and (c) take all reasonable steps to prevent the loss, destruction or fabrication of evidence in relation to the corruption issue. This subsection has effect subject to subsection 150(1) but despite any secrecy provision (other than a law enforcement secrecy provision or a taxation secrecy provision). > Note: Paragraph (a)—section 21 requires the head of the agency to pass on new information that relates to a significant corruption issue that has already been notified to the Integrity Commissioner. (2) The law enforcement agency may resume an investigation of a corruption issue stopped under paragraph (1)(b), or commence an investigation of a corruption issue to which subsection (1) applies, only if the Integrity Commissioner: (a) refers the corruption issue to the agency under paragraph 26(1)(b) for investigation; or (b) decides to investigate the corruption issue jointly with the agency under subsection 26(2); or (c) decides under subsection 31(1) to take no further action in relation to the corruption issue.
