R 432.714a Request for hearing.

Rule 714a. (1) A request for hearing must meet all of the following requirements: (a) Be in writing. (b) State the name, current address, and current telephone number of the petitioner. (c) State in detail the reasons why, and the facts upon which the petitioner will rely to show that, the petitioner's application for a license should not have been denied, the license should have been renewed, the transfer of ownership should have been approved, or approval should have been granted. (d) Be signed, verified, and dated. A petitioner must have the verification notarized and include a certification stating, "Under the penalty of perjury, the undersigned has examined this request for hearing and to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, complete, and correct." (2) A request for hearing must be submitted within 21 days after service of the notice of denial, notice of nonrenewal, or disapproval. A request for a hearing submitted by certified mail or overnight express mail is considered submitted in a timely manner if it is postmarked no later than 21 days after service of a notice of denial, notice of nonrenewal, or disapproval. (3) A request for a hearing is considered granted unless denied. (4) A request for a hearing may be withdrawn by the petitioner. If the request for hearing is withdrawn, then the initial denial, nonrenewal, or disapproval becomes a final board order. (5) Unless the board denies a request for hearing, the board shall submit the request for hearing to the appropriate state agency. (6) Default judgment or dismissal may result at any stage of the proceeding.
