Section 707.841 - What is a due process hearing?

A due process hearing is a formal legal proceeding that provides a designated perpetrator the right to challenge a finding of abuse, neglect, or exploitation in an impartial setting before an administrative law judge of the State Office of Administrative Hearings. The judge decides if the facts that existed at the time we made the finding meet the preponderance of evidence standard and decides whether to uphold, reverse, or alter the finding.
