Section 67-35-480. Administrative review—Who—When—Where.

The administrative review will be conducted by the supervisor of the vending facility program unless the supervisor is a party to the decision, action or inaction being reviewed, in which case the supervisor's supervisor shall conduct the administrative review. The administrative review will be held and a decision rendered within fifteen days of receipt of a request for administrative review. The review will be held at a department office or in a location selected by the department in the county in which the licensee or vendor resides. Upon request of the vendor or licensee, the department may arrange and pay for transportation from the vendor's or licensee's home to the place of the hearing and return. The rate of payment will be at the current state allowance for state employees. Upon request of the vendor or licensee, the department may arrange for and pay a reader or other communication service to be available to the vendor or licensee for the purpose of reviewing materials directly pertinent to the administrative review. The reader or other communication service will be paid the current federal minimum wage. Upon request of the vendor, the department may arrange for and pay a relief operator during the vendor's absence from the vending facility for the purpose of administrative review. Within funds available the costs (1) for transportation, (2) for a reader or other communication service, and (3) for a relief operator shall be paid as management services as set forth in WAC 67-35-150. After the conclusion of the administrative review the person conducting the administrative review will certify his/her findings to the licensee or vendor in writing, specifying in detail the findings and decision of the administrative review, and informing the licensee or vendor of his/her right to request a full evidentiary hearing if dissatisfied with the decision.
