A hearing before the Board for the purpose of revoking or
refusing to renew a burial agent license shall be had only upon a

agent and the burial associations for which the agent is licensed or
which have made requisition for such agent.
(1) The sworn complaint and the show cause order shall be
concise and definite in such a manner so as to apprise the agent of
the nature of the charge.

served at least ten (10) days prior to the date of the hearing.

by the Board in the conduct of the hearing.
(4) At the expense of and at the written request seasonably made

written findings, decision and order, and a copy thereof shall be
served on all interested parties.
(6) Any party aggrieved by any findings, decision or order of
the Board, may appeal within twenty (20) days after receipt of the
findings, decision and order to the district court of Oklahoma
County by filing with the clerk of said court a petition for review
of such findings, decision and order, together with a certified copy
of the proceedings of the Board. The court shall determine whether
the appeal shall operate as a stay of the order of the Board. The
