What are revocations, log export, and related appeals?
The Department may conduct proceedings where a record is maintained and witnesses are placed under oath.
These proceedings involve:
- Business registration revocation
- Cigarette license revocation
- Log export
- Related appeals
A reviewing officer is appointed to conduct the appeal hearing. (Administrative Procedure Act, chapter 34.05 RCW)
How do I request a revocation appeal?
In the revocation process, an "initial order" is issued. This must be appealed within 21 days of the order. The appeal can be written or oral. In either case, the request should state the reasons the appeal is requested.
What happens at the revocation hearing?
The reviewing officer will give you the opportunity to explain your view of the matter and ask questions. A decision will then be issued within 20 days. This decision is the final action of the Department, unless specified otherwise.
Further appeals can be made to the Thurston County Superior Court (see chapter 34.05 RCW).
