§ 407-9. Appeal of the Denial of Issuance or Reissuance, Suspension, or Revocation of a License.

If the director denies issuance or reissuance, suspends, or revokes any license regulated by this chapter, the applicant or licensee may appeal the decision to the office of administrative hearing (OAH). All appeals must be filed in writing with OAH within 10 days from receipt of notice of the director's decision to deny, deny reissuance, suspend, or revoke the license, and OAH shall hold the hearing within 14 days from receipt of the applicant's or licensee's written appeal. For purposes of appeal, the director's decision shall be presumed accurate, and the appellant shall bear the burden of proof of evidence to contradict the director's decision. The hearing examiner will either uphold or reverse the director's decision based on the information presented at the hearing, applying the criteria set forth in this chapter.
