Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 44, November 2, 2024
(a) Request for hearing. A person aggrieved by actions taken by the Bureau Directors, Commission staff without a prior hearing or the actions of the Board of Judges or Board of Stewards, may appeal the action to the Commission. The appeal and request for a hearing must be made in writing to the respective Bureau Director and must be filed in accordance with the provisions of § 179.3(a) (relating to filings and appeals). A request for a hearing not properly filed shall be denied.
(b) Timeliness. A request for a hearing, to be considered timely, must actually be received in the Commission's Administrative Office in Harrisburg and date-stamped within 10 days from the written or oral notice of the decision or ruling, license denial, suspension or revocation in accordance with § 179.3. Any appeal not filed in accordance with these provisions may be deemed incomplete, untimely or improperly filed and shall be denied.
(c) Appeal bond.
(d) Payment of fines. An appeal or request for a hearing from an underlying action or ruling shall not relieve the person of the requirement to pay the issued fine. If the appeal is disposed of in favor of the appellant, the Commission shall refund the amount of the fine.
(e) Request for stay. The underlying action or ruling to deny a license, suspend or revoke a license shall remain in full force and effect pending the final determination on the hearing demanded unless a party has requested and received a stay. Applications for a stay shall conform to the standards set forth in § § 175.6 and 177.6 (relating to contents of petition for stay) of the Commission's regulations.
