A. Any person aggrieved by an action taken by the board or one of its agents may request and receive a hearing for the purpose of reviewing the action. To obtain a hearing, the aggrieved person shall file a request for hearing with the board within thirty days after the date the action is taken. Failure to file the request within the specified time is an irrevocable waiver of the right to a hearing, and the action complained of shall be final with no further right to review, either administratively or by a court.
B. The board shall adopt procedural regulations to govern the procedures to be followed in administrative hearings pursuant to the provisions of this section. At a minimum, the regulations shall provide:
(1) for the hearings to be public;
(2) for the appointment of a hearing officer to conduct the hearing and make his recommendation to the board not more than thirty days after the completion of the hearing;
(3) procedures for discovery;
(4) assurance that procedural due process requirements are satisfied;
(5) for the maintenance of a record of the hearing proceedings and assessment of costs of any transcription of testimony that is required for judicial review purposes; and
(6) for the hearing to be held in Albuquerque or, upon written request by an aggrieved person, in the place or area affected.
C. Actions taken by the board after a hearing pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be:
(1) written and shall state the reasons for the action;
(2) made public when taken;
(3) communicated to all persons who have made a written request for notification of the action taken; and
(4) taken not more than thirty days after the submission of the hearing officer's report to the board.
