A licensee received a citation from GREC for a minor violation. The licensee disagrees with the findings and wants to contest the action. Under Georgia law, what is the licensee's right regarding this disciplinary action?

Correct Answer

B) The licensee may request a formal hearing to contest the findings and present evidence

Under the Georgia Administrative Procedure Act (O.C.G.A. § 50-13-13) and GREC's disciplinary procedures under O.C.G.A. § 43-40-25, a licensee who receives a citation or disciplinary action has the right to request a formal hearing to contest the findings. Due process protections under both Georgia law and constitutional principles ensure that licensees can challenge disciplinary actions, present evidence, and be heard before a hearing officer.

Answer Options
A
The licensee must accept the citation because minor sanctions are final and not subject to further review
B
The licensee may request a formal hearing to contest the findings and present evidence
C
The licensee must file a civil lawsuit in superior court to challenge any GREC disciplinary action
D
The licensee may only submit a written rebuttal, which GREC must then withdraw the citation
