192.2245. License denied — suspended — revoked — hearing procedure — appeals. — 1. Any person aggrieved by an official action of the department either refusing to issue a license or revoking a license may seek a determination thereon by the administrative hearing commission pursuant to the provisions of section 621.045; except that, the petition must be filed with the administrative hearing commission within thirty calendar days after the delivery of notice to the applicant for or holder of such license or certificate. When the notification of the official action is mailed to the applicant for or holder of such a license, there shall be included in the notice a statement of the procedure whereby the applicant for or holder of such license may appeal the decision of the department before the administrative hearing commission. It shall not be a condition to such determination that the person aggrieved seek a reconsideration, a rehearing or exhaust any other procedure within the department.

2. The administrative hearing commission may stay the revocation of such certificate or license, pending the commission's findings and determination in the cause, upon such conditions as the commission deems necessary and appropriate including the posting of bond or other security; except that, the commission shall not grant a stay or if a stay has already been entered shall set aside its stay, if, upon application of the department, the commission finds reason to believe that continued operation of the adult day care program to which the certificate or license in question applies pending the commission's final determination would present an imminent danger to the health, safety or welfare of any person or a substantial probability that death or serious physical harm would result. In any case in which the department has refused to issue a certificate or license, the commission shall have no authority to stay or to require the issuance of a license pending final determination by the commission.

3. The administrative hearing commission shall make the final decision as to the issuance or revocation of a license. Any person aggrieved by a final decision of the administrative hearing commission, including the department, may seek judicial review of such decision by filing a petition for review in the court of appeals for the district in which the adult day care program to which the license in question applies is located. Review shall be had, except as provided in this section, in accordance with the provisions of sections 621.189 and 621.193.
