Cevap
The correct chronological sequence is: 1) Issuance of a Notice of Hearing, 2) Convening of an administrative hearing, 3) Execution of a final Determination Order, and 4) Filing a petition for judicial review.
Administrative due process for license discipline follows a strict chronological framework to ensure fairness. The sequence begins with a formal Notice of Hearing that informs the licensee of the specific charges. This is followed by the administrative hearing itself, where evidence is presented and the licensee can defend against the allegations. After the hearing concludes, the Commissioner issues a Determination Order detailing the findings and any resulting penalties. Only after these administrative steps are completed can a disciplined licensee seek judicial review by appealing to a state court.
