§ 40-7. Hearing rights.
If an applicant for a permit is denied or a permittee's permit is to be considered for suspension pursuant to section 40-6, the sheriff shall serve on the applicant or permittee a written notice of the proposed action, including, in the case of a suspension, the length of the proposed suspension, and of the right to a hearing on the matter. Service shall be by certified mail to the applicant's or permittee's last-known address. Service shall be considered complete five (5) days after such mailing. The applicant or permittee may, within ten (10) calendar days after service of the sheriff's notification, file a request for hearing. Such request shall be in writing and mailed or deposited with the sheriff at 33 County Center Drive, Oroville, California, 95965. If the applicant or permittee fails to file a request for hearing within the time and in the manner prescribed above, the right to a hearing on the proposed denial or suspension shall be deemed to have been waived and the sheriff may proceed to deny or suspend the permit, according to the terms of the original notice of proposed action.
Upon receiving a written request for a hearing by the applicant or permittee, the sheriff shall serve on the applicant or permittee, by first class mail, a notice of the time and place of hearing. Service shall be made at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date set for the hearing.
Upon the receipt of a written request for a hearing, in the case of a suspension action, the sheriff shall take no further suspension action until a hearing has been held pursuant to section 40-9 and the sheriff has the written decision of the hearing officer.
