Any person may prefer charges for one (1) or more reasons listed in Section 8-170, against a registrant. Such charges must be in writing and must be sworn or attested to by the person alleging them. All charges must be filed with the Department.

All charges, unless dismissed by the Council as unfounded or trivial, must be heard by Council as soon as practical after the date received. The time and place for such hearings will be fixed by the Council and a copy of the charges, together with notice of the time and place, must be served in a legally acceptable manner, at least thirty (30) days before the date fixed for the hearing.

The accused registrant may appeal personally or by Counsel, cross-examine witnesses appearing against him/her and produce evidence and witnesses in his/her own defense.

If after hearing all evidence, a majority of the Council members present vote in favor of finding the accused registrant guilty, Council may place the individual on probation, suspend or revoke his/her registration.
