(a) Before revoking a license, the director of finance shall give written notice to the licensee that a revocation hearing will be held at a place and time specified in the notice, which hearing shall not be sooner than ten (10) days from the date of the notice. The notice shall state the grounds relied upon for the denial or revocation.
(b) Any person denied a license pursuant to the provisions of this article, or whose license has been revoked, may appeal in writing to the director of finance within ten (10) days from the notice, stating reasons why the action was improper. The director of finance or his designee shall hear the appeal on its merits not less than seven (7) nor more than thirty (30) days following the filing of the appeal. If the licensee fails to appear at the hearing, the director of finance or his designee may conduct the hearing.

The director of finance/designee shall give the licensee notice of the hearing decision and such decision shall be final.
