§ 5-20-31 Recommendations of board –
Order of director – Rehearing – Review. –
Any person aggrieved by any decision or ruling of the division of professional
regulation may appeal that decision to the administrator of the division or his
or her designee. A further appeal may then be made to the state board of
plumbing examiners. The state board of plumbing examiners, upon completion of
any hearing held on a verified complaint, shall present to the director of
labor and training a written report of its findings and recommendations. The
director of the department shall then order that the license of the licensee
charged in the complaint is revoked or that the complaint is dismissed in
accordance with the recommendations of the board. A copy of that order shall be
immediately served upon the licensee either personally or by registered or
certified mail. The order of the department is final unless the charged
licensee, the division, or complainant, within twenty (20) days after receipt
of that order, files with the director his or her motion, in writing, for a
review of the order by the director, specifying in the motion the points and
reasons for the order. The filing of a motion for a review stays the operation
of the order pending final decision on that motion. A motion for a review by
the director shall be immediately scheduled for a hearing by the director. The
decision of the director of the department after his or her review is final
upon questions of fact.
