Procedure for imposing fine or revoking, suspending or denying renewal of license or permit: Decision of hearing officer.
1. The hearing officer shall render a decision on any complaint within 60 days after the final hearing thereon and shall give notice in writing of the ruling or decision to the applicant, licensee or permittee affected thereby by certified mail to the last known address of the person to whom the notice is sent.
2. If the ruling is adverse to the licensee or permittee, the hearing officer shall also state in the notice the date upon which the ruling or decision becomes effective, which date must not be less than 30 days after the date of the notice.
3. The decision of the hearing officer may not be stayed by any appeal unless the district court so orders upon motion of the licensee or permittee, notice to the Division of the motion and opportunity for the Division to be heard.
4. An appeal from a decision of the district court affirming the imposition of a fine or the revocation, suspension or denial of the renewal of a license or permit does not stay the order of the hearing officer unless the district or appellate court upon petition of the licensee or permittee after notice and hearing orders such stay, and upon the filing of a bond for costs in the amount of $1,000.
