(2) In cases previously referred for prosecution
that were declined by the appropriate legal
authority; and
(3) In previously referred cases where no action
was taken within a reasonable period of time
and the referral was formally withdrawn by
the branch.
(b) The department may initiate an administrative
disqualification procedure or refer a case for
prosecution regardless of the current eligibility of
the individual.
(c) For those persons not currently certified to
participate in the program at the time of the
administrative disqualification or court decision, the
disqualification period shall be effective from the
month following the month the administrative
disqualification or court decision is rendered.
(d) The department shall not initiate an
administrative disqualification hearing against an
accused individual whose case is currently being
referred for prosecution or subsequent to any action
taken against the accused individual by the prosecutor
or court of appropriate jurisdiction, if the factual
issues of the case arise out of the same or related
circumstances.
(e) The department shall base administrative
disqualification for intentional program violations on
the determinations of hearing authorities arrived at
through administrative disqualification hearings or on
determinations reached by courts or appropriate
jurisdiction. However, the department may allow
accused individuals either to waive their rights to
administrative disqualification hearings or to sign
disqualification consent agreements for cases of
deferred acceptance. The department may base
administrative disqualifications for intentional
program violation on the waiver of the right to an
administrative disqualification hearing or on the
signed disqualification consent agreement in cases of
deferred adjudication.
