The commissioner shall have the power to rescind any license or registration erroneously issued by the department. To rescind a license or registration, the commissioner shall: (l) send notice by first class mail to the licensee or registrant, as applicable, identifying the basis for the proposed rescission; (2) set forth a date and time, which shall be no sooner than ten calendar days after notice is mailed, for the licensee or registrant to appear before the commissioner to contest the proposed rescission; and (3) inform the licensee or registrant that such licensee or registrant is entitled at such hearing to present evidence in opposition to the proposed rescission. Following the hearing, the commissioner shall affirm or reverse the decision to rescind the license. If the licensee or registrant fails to appear at such hearing, the license or registration, as applicable, shall be deemed to be rescinded. The commissioner's decision, which shall be in writing, shall be mailed to the licensee at least five days before the effective date of the rescission. The commissioner's decision shall be final and may be appealed as provided by law.
