Authority: IC 4-31-6-2
Affected: IC 4-21.5; IC 4-31
Sec. 12.
The commission, the judges, or the executive director as the commission's designee may refuse to issue a license. The decision to refuse a license is treated as a withdrawal of the license application without prejudice and is not reported to the ARCI. If an applicant is refused, the applicant may reapply for a license. An applicant may contest a refusal within fifteen (15) days of notice of the refusal. If an applicant contests a license refusal, the judges (or an administrative law judge if the judges are unavailable) shall conduct a hearing pursuant to the procedures provided for in 71 IAC 10 and IC 4-21.5. Nonetheless, the hearing on a license refusal is not considered to be a disciplinary action. If the judges affirm the decision to refuse a license application, the refusal shall be treated as the denial of the application, consistent with these rules.
