LAC 46:LXXX.913. Decision

A. The ADRA’s decision shall be based on finding(s) of fact and conclusion(s) of law. The decision shall be based on a preponderance of the evidence presented at a formal hearing, together with the determination of any appropriate sanctions, by an affirmative majority record vote of the ADRA members participating in the decision process. Decisions shall be recorded and made part of the record. B. The ADRA decision and order shall be rendered at the hearing or taken under advisement and later rendered; and shall be served personally or domiciliary at the respondent’s last known address or regular, registered, certified, or electronic mail, or by a diligent attempt. C. Every order of the ADRA shall take effect immediately on its being rendered unless the ADRA in such order fixes a stay of execution of a sanction for a period of time against an applicant or holder. Such order, without a stay of execution, shall continue in effect until expiration of any specified time period or termination by a court of competent jurisdiction.
