E. Law enforcement officers
may forcibly eject a person who violates a state law or a department rule or a
person who evades, disobeys or resists a state park official's lawful order
from a park. Based on the severity of conduct or reported incident,

staff, the ejection may be permanent.

Permanent ejection requires the regional manager to issue written notification
to the person being permanently ejected.

a regional manager issues, an individual ejected from a park or parks shall
submit a written request including the reasons for requesting review to the
director within 15 calendar days of issuance and provide written notice to the
regional manager.
(3) The regional
manager and the ejected individual shall submit written statements to the
director within 10 working days of the submission of the request for
review.
(4) The director shall base
his or her decision on the written statements unless the ejected individual or
the regional manager requests the opportunity to call witnesses or make oral
arguments within 10 working days of the request for review.
(5) A request for hearing shall explain the
need for any witness testimony or oral argument. If the ejected individual or
regional manager asks to make oral arguments or call witnesses, the director
may set a hearing to be held within 10 working days after receiving that
request and provide notice of the hearing date, time and location to the
regional manager and the ejected individual. Oral testimony shall be made under
oath. A tape or stenographic record shall be made of any oral argument or
witness testimony.
(6) The director
shall issue a written final decision, including findings of fact within 10
working days after the date for submission of written statements, or a hearing
if any, and send copies to the ejected individual and the regional
manager.
