R7.4.1.4 Decisions and discipline of certification holders. The BOCC shall issue a written decision after the hearing. Decisions shall be issued in a reasonably prompt manner. The decision of the BOCC shall serve as a recommendation to the BBRS and shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrator to the full board for review. If after a hearing the BOCC finds that the holder has violated any provision of R7.4.1.5, it may recommend suspension of a certification for a fixed period of time, revocation of a certification permanently, or a reprimand of the certification holder. Further, the BOCC may recommend that any order include appropriate remedial or disciplinary conditions. Once forwarded to the BBRS, the board shall either, adopt the recommendation in its entirety, adopt the recommendation with amendment, reject the recommendation in its entirety, or remand the matter to the BOCC further proceedings. A certificate holder whose certification is revoked may apply in writing to the Board for reinstatement no sooner than one year from the date of the revocation.
