21 N.C. Admin. Code 42L .0102 - REQUEST FOR HEARING

(a) When an individual believes that individual's rights, duties, or privileges have been affected by the Board's administrative action, but he has not received notice of a right to an administrative hearing, that individual may file a formal request for a hearing.

(b) Any person affected by or aggrieved by the Board's action or proposed action must file his request for an administrative hearing in the Board's office so that it is received by the Board within sixty days of the date such person receives notice of the Board's action or proposed action. For purposes of this Rule, "notice" is given by the Board and received by the affected individual:

(1) for an action taken or proposed to be taken by the entire Board, on the date notice of such action is mailed by the Board to the affected person at his or her last known address according to the records of the Board;

(2) for an action proposed by a committee of the Board, including a probable cause or investigatory committee, from the date the proposed resolution, proposal for settlement, or other proposed action is mailed to the affected person at his last known address as contained in the Board records. Provided, however, that if within thirty days of receipt of such notice the affected person proposes in writing to continue informal negotiations to settle the matters at issue, the Board or its committee handling such matter may, in its discretion, agree to toll the running of the sixty-day period or extend the sixty-day period on such terms as the Board deems appropriate;

(3) for any person affected by a decision of the Board concerning licensure, including an approval or rejection of an application form for licensure, the approval or denial of an application for licensure under G.S. 90-118.5 or 90-118.7, or a decision by the Board that an applicant has passed or failed a clinical practicum examination administered by the Board, from the date notice of such decision is mailed to the affected person at his last known mailing address as contained in the Board records.

(c) To request an administrative hearing, the affected individual shall submit a request bearing the following notation to the Board's office: REQUEST FOR ADMINISTRATIVE HEARING. The request shall contain the following information:

(1) name and address of the petitioner,

(2) a concise statement of the action taken by the Board which is challenged,

(3) a concise statement of the way in which the petitioner has been aggrieved, and

(4) a clear and specific statement of request for a hearing.

(d) The request will be acknowledged promptly and, if deemed appropriate by the Board in accordance with Rule .0103 of this Section, a hearing will be scheduled.
