MINOR

This bill expands the rights of businesses facing certification issues by including 'changed' certifications alongside 'denied' and 'revoked' ones. It clarifies that a business can request a hearing to challenge a certification change, and if they do so in time, their certification remains active while the appeal is pending.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to cover situations where a certification is 'changed' in addition to being denied or revoked, ensuring these businesses receive the same procedural protections.

ELIGIBILITY

The list of scenarios triggering a business's right to a hearing was updated to include cases where a certification is 'changed,' not just denied or revoked.

REQUIREMENT

A new provision was added stating that if a business timely requests a hearing for a denied, revoked, or changed certification, the certification is automatically restored and remains in full force until the final decision is made.

TIMELINE

The text was updated to clarify that the time limit for requesting a hearing applies to all three scenarios (denial, revocation, and change), ensuring consistent deadlines for businesses.
