(a) Where the department, as a result of a compliance review or other reason, determines that there is reasonable cause to believe that an apprenticeship program is operating in a discriminatory manner, and corrective action has not been taken by the program sponsor, the department shall immediately undertake corrective action. If compliance is not forthcoming within a reasonable time, then the department shall immediately refer the matter and all pertinent information to the commission on human rights and opportunities for a determination through procedures conducted in accordance with chapter 814c.

(b) Deregistration proceedings shall be conducted either as a result of a compliance review conducted by the department, or as a result of a formal determination by the commission on human rights and opportunities. Deregistration shall be conducted in accordance with the following procedures:

(1) The department shall notify the sponsor, in writing, that a determination of discriminatory practices has been made and that the apprenticeship program will be deregistered based on the compliance review conducted by the department or a formal determination of the commission on human rights and opportunities.

(2) In each case which deregistration is ordered, the department shall make public notice of the order and shall notify the sponsor and the complainant, if any, and the United States labor department. The department shall inform any sponsor whose program has been deregistered that it may appeal such deregistration to the secretary in accordance with the procedures in federal regulations, 29 CFR 30.15.
