(a) Before the Board imposes on any appraiser any sanction permitted by this chapter, it shall provide for a hearing for such appraiser in accordance with rules and regulations issued by the Board.
(b) If any appraiser or applicant fails to appear at any hearing after reasonable notice, the Board may proceed to hear the evidence against such appraiser or applicant and take action as if such appraiser or applicant had been present. A notice of hearing, initial or proposed decision, or final decision of the Board in a disciplinary proceeding shall be served upon the appraiser or applicant by personal service or by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the last known address of record with the Board. If such material is returned marked “unclaimed” or “refused” or is undeliverable and if the appraiser or applicant cannot, after diligent effort, be located, the commissioner shall be deemed to be the agent for such appraiser or applicant for the purposes of this chapter, and service upon the commissioner shall be deemed service upon the appraiser or applicant.
(c) Any person who has exhausted all administrative remedies available within this chapter and who is aggrieved by a final decision in a contested case is entitled to judicial review in accordance with the provisions of law.
