§ 56-530.7. Revocation or refusal to renew certificate - Notice and

hearing.

The Department of Human Services may revoke or refuse to renew

any certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma

Adult Companion Home Certification Act if the home has violated any

of the provisions of the Oklahoma Adult Companion Home Certification

Act or the standards promulgated by the Department. No certificate

shall be revoked or renewal refused unless the holder of such

certificate shall have been given at least thirty (30) days' notice

in writing of the grounds of such proposed revocation or refusal.

If such revocation or refusal is protested to the Commission for

Human Services, in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of

said notice the Commission, or the Department, shall conduct a

hearing at which an opportunity is given to the owner or operator of

such home to present testimony and confront witnesses. Notice of

such hearing shall be given to said owner or operator of such home

by personal service or by delivery to the proper address by

registered mail, at least two (2) weeks prior to the date thereof.

If notice of the proposed revocation or refusal is not so protested,

the certification may thereupon be revoked or renewal thereof

refused.
