18-125-205 Me. Code R. § 05
MRS may, for cause, revoke any certificate issued under 36 M.R.S. §311 after a hearing and findings of fact. If MRS believes that there may be cause for revocation of a certificate, a revocation hearing will be scheduled. MRS will provide the certificate holder 30-days' written notice of the time and place of the hearing and the reasons for the potential revocation. The hearing will provide an opportunity for the certificate holder to hear any evidence adverse to him or her and to present any evidence or argument. Following the hearing, MRS will determine whether there is cause for revocation of the certificate. Cause for revocation may include, but is not limited to, a determination that 1) a certificate holder's conduct negatively affects that individual's ability or fitness to perform the assessing function for a Maine municipality, or 2) a certificate holder's continued service as an assessor is not in the public interest.
If, after a hearing, MRS determines that there is cause to revoke a certificate, MRS will issue a written order of revocation. The order will include findings of fact, notice to the certificate holder of the revocation, and appeal rights. The revocation will be effective as of the date the order is issued. A written order of revocation by MRS to revoke a certificate is a determination subject to reconsideration pursuant to 36 M.R.S. §151. In lieu of revocation, MRS may impose conditions on a certificate holder that he or she must meet to retain certification, including, but not limited to, additional training or a probationary period. An individual whose certification has been revoked may reapply for certification on terms required by MRS that may include passing the Exam after no less than one year from the date of revocation.
