...
(5) whether the applicant has been formally notified of any complaints pending before a disciplinary agency in any jurisdiction and, if so, provide a detailed description of the nature and status of any pending disciplinary complaints;
This amendment shall become effective immediately.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
