555 CMR, § 9.10 - Issuance of a Certification Decision

(1) The Division shall issue a decision on an application within a reasonable time.

(2) As a decision declining to grant full certification is distinct from decertification, the procedures prescribed by M.G.L. c. 6E, § 10 need not be followed before such a decision is issued.

(3) The Division shall provide written notification of a decision on an application by email to:

(a) The applicant;

(b) The applicant's endorsing law enforcement agency, if any; and

(c) The head of the applicant's collective bargaining unit, if named in the application.

(4) If the Division's decision on an application provides for anything other than full certification, the notification described in 555 CMR 9.10(3) shall also inform the applicant of:

(a) Any condition, limitation, or restriction attached to the certification, and any associated terms; and

(b) The ability to seek review by the Executive Director as provided for in 555 CMR 9.11(1) and a hearing as provided for in 555 CMR 9.11(2).
