(b) Appeals of registration revocation or denial.

(1) Each EVSP whose EVSP registration is revoked or denied shall be entitled to an appeal if the EVSP files a written appeal with the EVSP registrar and the appeal is received by the EVSP registrar, either electronically or by U.S. mail, within 30 days of notification of the registration revocation or denial.

(2) Each appeal shall be filed on a form provided by the department. The appeal form for EVSP registration revocation or denial shall be available on the department's web site. Upon the request of the EVSP, the EVSP registrar shall provide a paper copy of the appeal form by certified mail.

(3) If an EVSP files an appeal of a revocation of registration according to this regulation, the EVSP registration shall be valid, pending final determination of revocation by the EVSP registration committee.

(4) If an EVSP files an appeal of a denial of registration according to this regulation, the EVSP registration shall be deemed invalid, pending a final determination of the denial by the EVSP registration committee.

(5) If an EVSP fails to file an appeal according to this regulation, the revocation or denial determination by the EVSP registrar shall become final, upon expiration of the appeal period.

(c) Registration committee.

(1) A committee of at least three members shall be established by the secretary to act as an appellate body to hear and determine appeals concerning revocations and denials of EVSP registrations. The members of the registration committee shall be appointed by the secretary and shall serve at the pleasure of the secretary.
