P.R. Laws tit. 20, § 179
The renewal of a license or certification cannot be denied, suspended or revoked for the reasons indicated in the previous sections without prior written notification, nor the offer of an opportunity for a formal hearing regarding said denial, suspension or revocation. The notification to such purposes shall be issued no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the decision of the Board. Said notice shall be in writing and must include an admonition regarding the statute of limitations for requesting the hearing and the procedure to request it.
When the license or certification of a practitioner has been suspended, the Board may revoke said suspension when it determines to its satisfaction that said licensed or certified practitioner is capable of exercising the profession with reasonable skill and safety. As a condition for the restitution of a suspended license or relief from probation, the Board may impose any disciplinary or corrective measure it deems pertinent and has been previously established in this chapter.
When an application has been denied or rejected and the applicant deems that the Board acted unfairly and that more rigorous rules have been imposed that are different from those imposed on other applicants or license holders, or that have otherwise contributed or caused the denial or rejection of the application, the applicant may appeal pursuant to §§ 2101 et seq. of Title 3, known as the “Uniform Administrative Procedures Act of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico”.
