SECTION 10:15-18-7. Board review of denied applications

(a)   The Board shall consider all requests for review of denied applications.

(b)   The issues considered for review shall include, but not be limited to, the statutory eligibility requirements and rules upon which the denial of the application was based.

(c)   The qualification applicant or candidate who has requested the review shall be notified in writing of the Board's decision. If the denial is sustained by the Board, the written notice shall include the reason(s) for sustaining the denial.

(d)   If the denial of the application is sustained, and the qualification applicant or candidate is not satisfied with the decision of the Board, the qualification applicant or candidate may request in writing a public hearing before the Board. Such request shall be granted only if the qualification applicant or candidate can provide additional information to the Board which was not previously available to the Board at the time of the initial evaluation, review, or denial. Any additional evidence shall be in documentary form. If any additional evidence is to be presented by oral testimony, a written synopsis of that oral evidence shall accompany the request for a public hearing.

(e)   If the Board grants a public hearing to the qualification applicant or candidate, the hearing may be held in conjunction with the next regular meeting of the Board or at a special meeting of the Board.
