Ariz. Admin. Code § R4-16-510 - Appealing Executive Director Actions

A. Any person aggrieved by an action taken by the executive director under the authority delegated in this Article may appeal that action to the Board. The aggrieved person shall file a written request with the Board no later than:

1. Thirty days after notification of the action, if personally served; or

2. Thirty-five days after the date on the notification, if mailed.

B. The aggrieved person shall provide, in the written request, evidence showing:

1. An irregularity in the investigative process or the executive director's review deprived the party of a fair decision;

2. Misconduct by Board staff, a Board consultant, or the executive director that deprived the party of a fair decision; or

3. Material evidence newly discovered that could have a bearing on the decision and that, with reasonable diligence, could not have been discovered and produced earlier.

C. The fact that the aggrieved party does not agree with the the executive director's action is not grounds for a review by the Board.

D. If an aggrieved person fails to submit a written request within the time specified in subsection (A), the Board is relieved of the requirement to review actions taken by the executive director. The executive director may, however, evaluate newly provided information that is material or substantial in content to determine whether the Board should review the case.

E. If a written request is submitted that meets the requirements of subsection (B):

1. The Board shall consider the written request at its next regularly scheduled meeting.

2. If the written request provides new material or substantial evidence that requires additional investigation, the investigation shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible and the case shall be forwarded to the Board at the first possible regularly scheduled meeting.
