(1) If the Law Enforcement Division recommendation is that the license be approved, the Board of Stewards shall grant the application by issuing a license.

(2) If the recommendation of the Law Enforcement Division is that the license not be issued, the applicant shall be notified in writing of the recommendation and the reasons therefore. If the applicant wishes to contest the recommendation, the applicant shall, within ten (10) days on receipt of the notice, request in writing a hearing before the Board of Stewards. If a written request for such a hearing is not received in the Commission office by close of business on the tenth day after receipt of notice of adverse recommendation, the recommendation of the Law Enforcement Division shall be approved and no license shall be issued.

(3) If the written request is received in a timely manner, the Board of Stewards shall conduct a hearing in accordance with the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act and issue Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law, and Order. If the Board of Stewards rules in favor of the applicant, the matter may be disposed of by issuing a license without the issuance of a formal Order. Decisions adverse to the applicant are appealable to the District Court under the Oklahoma Administrative Procedures Act.
