3701-21-26(C) Appeal procedures

In the case of a suspension of a license issued for a violation presenting an immediate danger to the public health, the licensor will provide the license holder with written notice of the action, the cause for the action, and the effective date of the action. The written notice will specify the procedure for appealing the suspension and list the address to which a hearing request is to be sent or delivered. The license holder may appeal the suspension by mailing or hand-delivering a written request for a hearing to the address specified in the notice. If a hearing is requested, it will be heard not later than two business days after the request is received by the licensor. At the hearing, the license holder may have the opportunity to present its case orally or in writing and to confront and cross-examine witnesses. The license holder may be represented by counsel and may review the case record before the hearing. At the hearing, the licensor will determine whether the immediate danger to the public health continues to exist.
