If the Chief of Police denies the issuance of a license, or suspends or revokes a license, the Chief of Police shall send to the applicant, or licensee, by certified mail, return receipt requested, written notice of the action, a statement of facts with supporting documentation which formed the basis for the decision, and notice of the right to an appeal. The aggrieved party may appeal the decision of the Chief of Police to a state district court of appropriate jurisdiction. An appeal to the state district court must be filed within 30 days after the receipt of notice of the decision of the Chief of Police. Filing an appeal in a district court stays the Chief of Police in suspending or revoking a license until the district court makes a final decision. All decisions of the Chief of Police not appealed become final and unappealable within 30 days. The applicant or licensee shall bear the burden of proof in court.
