ARSD 46:31:01:05.01. Appeal of denial, suspension, or revocation of certificate

An interpreter or applicant may appeal the denial, suspension, or revocation of certification. An appeal shall be made in writing to the Director of the Division of Rehabilitation Services within ten days of receipt of notice regarding denial, suspension, or revocation of the interpreter's certificate. The division director shall provide a determination within 30 days of receipt of request for appeal. An interpreter dissatisfied with the division director's determination may request a fair hearing, pursuant to SDCL chapter 1-26, by notifying the department in writing within ten days of receipt of the division director's decision. While denial, suspension, or revocation of certificate is being appealed, the interpreter's certificate remains in effect until a final decision is reached after a hearing.
