12-170-110. Disciplinary proceedings - administrative law judges - judicial review. (1) The director may, through the department, employ administrative law judges to conduct hearings as provided by this section or on any matter within the director's jurisdiction upon such conditions and terms as the director may determine.

(2) A proceeding for discipline of a licensee, permittee, registrant, or certificate holder must be commenced when the director has reasonable grounds to believe that a licensee, permittee, registrant, or certificate holder has committed acts that may violate the provisions of this article 170 or rules promulgated pursuant to this article 170. The grounds may be established by an investigation begun by the director on the director's own motion or by an investigation pursuant to a written complaint. Section 12-20-403 and article 4 of title 24 govern proceedings brought pursuant to this section.

(3) Any hearing on the revocation or suspension of a license, permit, registration, or certificate, or on the denial of an application for a new license, permit, registration, or certificate, or for renewal of a previously issued license, permit, registration, or certificate must be conducted by an administrative law judge.

(4) Final action by the director may be judicially reviewed pursuant to section 12-20-408.
