(a) For a violation of a contract with a student, for soliciting or enrolling students through fraud or misrepresentation, or for noncompliance with this chapter or the reasonable rules and regulations promulgated by the Secretary of State pursuant to this chapter, the Secretary of State shall revoke the permit issued under this chapter after serving notice of hearing upon the resident agent for service of summons in the same manner as service of summons upon nonresident corporations qualified to do business in the state. Such notice shall set a time and place for a hearing not less than fifteen (15) days nor more than thirty (30) days from the receipt of said notice. Said permittee shall be allowed to show cause why said permit should not be revoked. At said time and place full opportunity shall be afforded the permittee to be heard on said revocation. The Secretary of State shall have power to issue compulsory process to assure the presence of such persons or such records deemed necessary for the proper determination of any matter before him for consideration, and he may in his discretion require testimony under oath and administer the same.
(b) Any person aggrieved by a decision of the Secretary of State shall have a right to a judicial review of said decision by forwarding notice of his intention to appeal to the Secretary of State within fifteen (15) days from the date of revocation. Upon receipt of said notice, the Secretary of State shall within sixty (60) days after receiving said notice of appeal certify the record to the chancery court of the First Judicial District of Hinds County, Mississippi, for trial de novo. Appeal may be with or without supersedeas at the election of the permittee. The Secretary of State shall not be required to certify the record unless the permittee shall have filed a cost bond sufficient to pay the costs of transcribing and preparing the transcript.
No person, firm or corporation failing to comply with the provisions of this chapter shall have access to any of the courts of this state for the purpose of enforcing any claim or demand against any resident of this state arising out of any contract entered into in violation of the provisions of this chapter.
