any appeal filed under section 119.12 of the Revised Code .  If the individual subject to the suspension requests an adjudication, the date set

for the adjudication shall be within fifteen days but not earlier than seven days

after the individual makes the request, unless another date is agreed to by both the

individual and the board.  The summary suspension shall remain in effect, unless reversed by the board, until

a final adjudication order issued by the board pursuant to this section and Chapter

119. of the Revised Code becomes effective. The board shall issue its final adjudication order within ninety days after completion

of the adjudication.  If the board does not issue a final order within the ninety-day period, the summary

suspension shall be void, but any final adjudication order issued subsequent to the

ninety-day period shall not be affected. (C) The license or certificate issued to an individual under this chapter is automatically

arson, aggravated robbery, or aggravated burglary.  The suspension shall remain in effect from the date of the conviction, plea, or

finding until an adjudication is held under Chapter 119. of the Revised Code.  If the board has knowledge that an automatic suspension has occurred, it shall notify

the individual subject to the suspension.  If the individual is notified and either fails to request an adjudication within

the time periods established by Chapter 119. of the Revised Code or fails to participate

in the adjudication, the board shall enter a final order permanently revoking the

person's license or certificate.
