Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

Section V-17705 - Revocation of Approval; Appeals

A. The board may revoke approval as a board approved doula training organization if the organization:

1. violates or fails to continue to comply with any applicable provision or requirement of this Chapter; or

2. provides to the board any false, misleading, forged, or materially erroneous documents, documentation, or information.

B. Revocation shall occur through issuance and service of an order revoking approval as a board approved doula training organization. The order shall state with specificity the nature of the violation(s), including citations to the provision(s) of this Chapter that have been violated. In addition to any other method of service authorized by this Chapter, service on the organization may be effected by electronic mail sent to the email address provided by the organization to the board, which shall be deemed effective even if returned as undeliverable.

C. An order revoking approval as a board approved doula training organization shall include notice of right to an administrative hearing before the Division of Administrative Law concerning same, provided that the registrant submits an appeal request thereto within 30 calendar days of receipt of the order. The order shall be stayed pending the decision of the Division of Administrative Law.

D. A board approved doula training organization whose approval is revoked may not subsequently seek approval for one year following the date the revocation order becomes final as a result of all appeals being exhausted or delays therefor having lapsed. After said one year period, the entity may apply for approval as a board approved doula training organization, but the entity shall have the burden of satisfying the board that the basis or cause for the revocation has been corrected, remedied, abated, or otherwise no longer exists.

E. Revocation of an entity's approval as a board approved doula training organization shall have no effect on any doula whose placement on the Doula Registry, or application therefor, was based upon having received a certificate of completion of training as a doula from such entity prior to the date that the revocation order became final.
