(B) Action pending appeal; lapse of time; waiver.
(1) Whenever a provision of this chapter states a specific time within which an appeal must be taken and regardless of the level of authority from which the appeal may be taken, if the appeal is not taken within the time prescribed, then the action of the Wrecker Inspector from which the appeal may have been taken is deemed to be final.
(2) The action of the Wrecker Inspector suspending or revoking any rights granted under the authority of this chapter shall be effective upon receipt of notice by the licensee; provided, if the licensee files a timely appeal, then any right under this chapter heretofore existing shall continue in effect during the pendency of any appeal(s) or 30 days, whichever is sooner.
(3) Any hearing may be continued upon 48 hours’ written notice prior to the date of the hearing; provided, if the new date for the hearing is more than 30 days from the date of the original notice of appeal, then the rights of the appellant pursuant to this division (B) may only be extended upon a showing of good cause.
