26-209; HEARINGS; JUDICIAL REVIEW.

(A)     RIGHT TO HEARING.

AN APPLICANT FOR A LICENSE OR A LICENSEE IS ENTITLED TO A HEARING
BEFORE THE COMMISSIONER IF THE APPLICATION IS DENIED OR NOT ACTED ON
WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME OR IF THE LICENSE IS SUSPENDED OR REVOKED.

(B)     JUDICIAL REVIEW.

AN APPLICANT OR LICENSEE THAT IS ADVERSELY AFFECTED BY AN ORDER OF
THE COMMISSIONER MAY SEEK JUDICIAL REVIEW OF THE ORDER IN ACCORDANCE
WITH § 2-215 OF THIS ARTICLE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 48B, § 6.

In subsection (a) of this section, the reference to a "licensee" is added for
clarity because only a licensee, not an applicant, may have a license suspended
or revoked.

In subsection (b) of this section, the references to an "order" of the
Commissioner are substituted for the former references to a "determination"
for clarity since a hearing under this section would result in an "order", which
is subject to judicial review under § 2-215 of this article.

Defined terms: "Commissioner" § 1-101
"License" § 26-101
"Licensee" § 26-101
