JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER

Upon receipt of a written complaint against a holder of a board certification that is substantiated by demonstrable evidence or upon the board's own motion:

1. The board shall decide whether the information submitted warrants causing an investigation to be initiated or sending a notice of opportunity for hearing as outlined in Item 4 below;

2. If a formal investigation is warranted, the subject of the investigation shall be notified that an investigation has been initiated by the board;

3. Upon completion of the investigation, findings shall be reported to the board.

4. The board may dismiss the complaint, table the matter for future action, or initiate action to suspend or revoke the residential certification. If the board issues an order to suspend or revoke the certification, it shall:

4.1. Notify the certificate holder of the charges, pursuant to Section 103.3.10.2 by certified mail, return receipt requested. The certificate holder shall be informed that a hearing, if desired, must be requested within thirty days from the date of the mailing to request a hearing before the board. The order shall inform the certificate holder that counsel may represent the certificate holder at the hearing. Failure by the certificate holder to request a hearing within thirty days from the date of the mailing of the notification may cause the board, after a hearing, to uphold an order revoking or suspending certification;

4.2. Schedule a hearing to be held seven to fifteen days after receipt of the request. The board may continue or postpone the hearing upon application by the party or upon its own motion;

4.3. The board may appoint a hearing officer to conduct a hearing.
