(a) Upon receipt of a request from the Chief Building Official to review a registration, license or application for license in accordance with §§ 1422.09 and 1428.08 of the Codified Ordinances, the Board shall appoint a hearing panel of three of its members (one must be a member of the trade involved) to conduct the review.
(b) A hearing will be held before the hearing panel. The registrant, licensee or applicant shall have an opportunity to be heard, and an opportunity to question those presenting evidence in support of suspension, revocation or denial of the registration or license. Formal rules of evidence will not apply. The proceeding will be recorded, either electronically or by a certified court reporter. Within ten days of the hearing, the panel shall make a recommendation, in writing, to the Board as to whether the registration or license should be revoked, suspended or denied stating the reason for the decision. The Board, at its next scheduled meeting, may accept, reject or modify the recommendation of the hearing panel. If the Board rejects or modifies the recommendation, it must enter a written decision explaining the reason for such rejection or modification. If the Board accepts the recommendation, it may either issue a written decision explaining its decision, or it may adopt the written recommendation of the hearing panel.
(c) Any suspension or revocation of the local registration of a contractor licensed in accordance with Ohio R.C. Chapter 4740, shall be reported to the Ohio Contractors Industry Examining Board by the Secretary to the Board.
