(a) Upon finding that a condition exists to deny an application, revoke a license, or fail to renew a special fees license, the director shall issue a letter to the licensee or applicant requiring that it come forward and show cause why the above action should not be taken.
(b) The licensee or applicant shall have ten (10) calendar days to respond to the director's letter in writing and present evidence showing that the proposed action should not be taken.

The commissioner's decision whether to deny an application, revoke a special fees license, or fail to renew a license shall be final. The licensee or applicant may then pursue appeal through the circuit court.
