(a) In addition to requesting a hearing, as provided for in subsection (b)(4) of Section 125.9 of the Code, the person cited may, within ten (10) days after service or receipt of the citation, notify the Executive Officer of the Committee or the Committee's designee in writing of his or her request for an informal conference with the Executive Officer of the Committee or the Committee's designee regarding the acts charged in the citation. The time allowed for the request shall begin the first day after the citation has been served or received.
(b) The Executive Officer of the Committee or the Committee's designee shall, within thirty (30) days from receipt of the request, hold an informal conference with the person cited and/or his or her legal counsel or authorized representative.

If the citation is dismissed after the informal conference, the request for a hearing on the matter of the citation shall be deemed to be withdrawn. If the citation, including any administrative fine levied or order of abatement, is modified, the citation originally issued shall be considered withdrawn and a new citation issued.
