When any license application is denied or any active license is revoked, the applicant or licensee has a right to a hearing before the commissioner at which the applicant or licensee may be represented by counsel. The demand for a hearing shall be in writing and shall be made within thirty (30) days after receipt of the denial or revocation. The commissioner shall set a date and time for the hearing no later than thirty (30) days after receipt of the demand. Public notice of the hearing shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation in the county where the license is proposed or is being operated. Such notice shall appear not less than ten (10) days before the date of the hearing and shall contain the date, time, place, identity of the parties involved and the purpose for which the hearing is to be held. All hearings shall be held in the office of the commissioner.
Any action of the commissioner after the hearing may be appealed by the applicant or licensee within ten (10) days from the date of such action by a writ of certiorari to the circuit court of the county where the business is proposed to be conducted or is being conducted, as provided by law in such cases.
The review by the court shall be on the record made before the commissioner; and copies of all applications, bonds and other papers and documents of every kind filed with the commissioner and the hearing shall be included in the record along with the transcript of the evidence.
