Iowa Admin. Code r. 655-3.10 - License denial
(1) Prior
to the denial of licensure to an applicant, the board issues a preliminary
notice of denial that cites the factual and legal basis for denying the
application, notifies the applicant of the appeal process and specifies the
date upon which the denial will become final if not appealed.
(2) An applicant who has been issued a
preliminary notice of denial may appeal the notice and request a hearing on the
issues related to the preliminary notice of denial by serving a request for
hearing upon the executive director within 30 days following the date the
preliminary notice of denial was mailed. The request for hearing shall specify
the factual or legal errors in the preliminary notice of denial and provide any
additional written information or documents in support of the
licensure.
(3) All hearings held
pursuant to this rule shall be held in accordance with the process outlined in
655-Chapter 20.
(4) If an applicant
does not appeal a preliminary notice of denial, the preliminary notice of
denial automatically becomes final.
