36-2114.  Revocation or suspension of license — Review of denial of license — Procedure. (a) Proceedings for the revocation or suspension of a license issued hereunder may be taken upon information and recommendation of any person. All accusations must be made in writing and signed by a person familiar therewith and submitted to the board. Thereupon, the board, acting as a board, or through its executive director, shall make a preliminary investigation of all facts in connection with such charge. The board in its discretion may either decide to take no further action and the results of such investigation shall be subject to disclosure according to chapter 1, title 74, Idaho Code, or the board may decide to initiate proceedings to suspend or revoke the license of the outfitter or guide against whom a complaint has been filed, in which case the board shall set a time and place for hearing as provided in chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code. Notice of such hearing shall be given to the licensee against whom a citation or formal complaint has been filed not later than one hundred eighty (180) days after the filing of such citation or formal complaint. If, after full, fair and impartial hearing, the majority of the board shall find the accused has committed the violations alleged, the board may suspend the license for a period not to exceed one (1) year, or the board may order the license revoked. The board shall forthwith suspend or revoke such license in accordance with and pursuant to its order under the procedure established in chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.

(b) Any applicant aggrieved by a denial of his application in whole or in part for an outfitter’s or guide’s license by the board shall have twenty-one (21) days from the day of receiving such notice of denial in which to submit a written request for a hearing before the board to review such action. Upon receipt of such request, the board shall hold a hearing as provided in chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code.
