Section XLIII-1103 - Procedure for Suspension or Revocation

A. Upon receipt of notice of any alleged violations of this Part, or any rule or regulation adopted by the board, the board shall institute a preliminary investigation. If warranted by the investigation, the board shall duly notify the alleged violator and schedule a timely hearing for the resolution of the alleged violation. If following such hearing, the board reasonably finds that a violation of the rule or the rules or regulations promulgated by the board has occurred, the board shall take such disciplinary action that it may in its discretion choose to exercise in keeping with its delegated authority.

B. If a formal complaint is filed with the board, that complaint shall be referred to the Disciplinary Committee, whose job shall be to investigate the complaint. If warranted by the investigation, the Disciplinary Committee shall duly notify the alleged violator in writing of the complaint and ask the alleged violator for a response to the complaint.

C. If the Disciplinary Committee by a majority vote determines that there has been no violation of the statutes and regulations regulating registered or licensed interior designers, then a report of that shall be made to the board.

D. If the Disciplinary Committee determines that the registrant has corrected the alleged violation, and the complainant has accepted the correction without further hearing, it shall make a report of that to the entire board.

E. If the Disciplinary Committee determines that there is a violation alleged, and that the registrant has not corrected the alleged violation, then it shall make a referral to the board of this fact and ask that the matter be referred for a hearing.
