(1) Any person whose application for a license is denied shall be entitled to a hearing before the board if he or she submits a written request for a hearing to the board.

(2) Following the investigative process, the board may file formal charges against the licensee. Such formal complaint shall, at a minimum, inform the licensee of the facts which are the basis of the charge and which are specific enough to enable the licensee to defend against the charges.

(4) Service shall be considered to have been given if the notice was personally served on the licensee or applicant or if the notice was sent by certified United States mail to the licensee or applicant to the licensee's or applicant's last known address as listed of record with the board.
(5) The board or its designee shall hear evidence produced in support of the formal charges and contrary evidence produced by the licensee. At the conclusion of the hearing, the board shall issue an order.
