(a) Any person aggrieved by the decision of the commissioner to revoke or suspend a certificate may, not later than twenty (20) days after the date of receipt of a notice of revocation or suspension of a certificate, submit a written request to the commissioner for a reconsideration of the commissioner's decision. Not later than twenty (20) working days after the date of receipt of such request, the commissioner or the commissioner's designee shall conduct an informal hearing, at which the regional director of health services, the supervising nurse requesting sanction and the employee may present written and oral evidence.

(b) The commissioner or the commissioner's designee shall render a decision not later than twenty (20) working days after the date of the hearing. The decision of the commissioner or the commissioner's designee shall be final. Revocation or suspension of a certificate shall be stayed pending the outcome of such hearing except that the person shall not administer medication under the authority of the certificate pending the outcome of such hearing. In the absence of a request for a reconsideration during this time period, the certificate shall either be revoked or suspended.
