Sec.14-275c-43. Right to hearing

(a) Any driver, carrier or person who claims to be aggrieved by any decision, order or sanction imposed by the commissioner under Sections 14-275c-37 through 14-275c-42, inclusive, of these regulations may make a written request to the commissioner for a hearing. Such request shall be granted and the hearing scheduled with reasonable promptness.

(b) Except as otherwise provided, the request for and scheduling of a hearing shall operate as a stay of the commissioner's intended action until such time as the commissioner renders a final decision in the matter. Notice of such stay shall be provided to the parties. No stay shall be granted where the commissioner finds that public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in his order.

(c) The hearing and all pre-hearing and post-hearing procedures shall be conducted in accordance with applicable provisions and standards of Sections 4-177 through 4-182, inclusive, of the Connecticut General Statutes (Uniform Administrative Procedure Act), and Sections 14-137-36 through 14-137-39, inclusive, of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies, as amended, (Rules of Practice of the Department of Motor Vehicles).
