The Department of Human Services may revoke or refuse to renew any certificate issued pursuant to the provisions of the Oklahoma Adult Companion Home Certification Act if the home has violated any of the provisions of the Oklahoma Adult Companion Home Certification Act or the standards promulgated by the Department. No certificate shall be revoked or renewal refused unless the holder of such certificate shall have been given at least thirty (30) days' notice in writing of the grounds of such proposed revocation or refusal. If such revocation or refusal is protested to the Commission for Human Services, in writing, within thirty (30) days of receipt of said notice the Commission, or the Department, shall conduct a hearing at which an opportunity is given to the owner or operator of such home to present testimony and confront witnesses. Notice of such hearing shall be given to said owner or operator of such home by personal service or by delivery to the proper address by registered mail, at least two (2) weeks prior to the date thereof. If notice of the proposed revocation or refusal is not so protested, the certification may thereupon be revoked or renewal thereof refused.
