Each licensee or registrant, or applicant for licensing or registration, who is aggrieved by a proposed action of the Director that would result in the refusal to issue a license or registration, or that would modify, suspend, terminate, or revoke a license or registration, shall be afforded notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to the action by the Director.
A request for a hearing to review an adverse action proposed by the Director must be made in writing within fifteen (15) days following notification to the applicant, licensee, or registrant of the contemplated action and of his or her right to a hearing with respect to the action.
Upon failure by an applicant, licensee, or registrant to request a timely hearing, or upon failure of the person to appear at a scheduled hearing and for which no continuance has been or is granted, the Director may, without a hearing, take the action contemplated in the notice.
When the Director issues a notice pursuant to § 6705 of this chapter to cease and desist from the use of any machine, device, or equipment by a licensee or registrant, the Director shall inform the licensee or registrant that an opportunity to be heard and to contest the notice shall be afforded within thirty (30) days of the issuance of the notice.
In any matter involving denying, modifying, suspending, or revoking any license issued under chapters 67 through 69 of this title, or in a hearing concerned with the issuance of a notice to cease and desist the use of any machine, device, or equipment, the procedure shall be in accordance with the District of Columbia Administrative Procedure Act, approved October 4, 1968, as amended (82 Stat. 1203; D.C. Official Code §§ 2-501 to 2-510 (2001)).
