Does an ALC have informal and formal appeal rights to dispute a finding of danger if DAIL upholds its initial finding after receiving the ALC’s written response?
A. Yes. If, after reviewing the ALC’s written response, DAIL determines the client remains a danger, DAIL shall notify the ALC in writing that: (a) Certification may be denied or revoked; (b) The ALC has the right to an informal dispute resolution meeting: 1. Between DAIL and the ALC; 2. For the purpose of attempting to resolve a dispute, including the provision of additional documentation or support materials; and 3. To be requested by the ALC in writing within three business days of receiving DAIL’s written notice; and (c) It has appeal rights pursuant to Section 11 of this administrative regulation if: 1. An informal dispute resolution meeting is not requested; or 2. A dispute is not resolved with the informal dispute resolution meeting.
