D.C. Mun. Regs. tit. 22, r. 22-C6204
Whenever the Board has reasonable cause to believe that any registration or permit should be suspended or revoked pursuant to Section 6 of the Act, it shall notify the person to whom the registration or permit was issued by personal service or certified mail at the last address recorded by that person with the Board, citing that person to appear before the Board not less than thirty (30) days thereafter. The notice shall state the time and place set by the Board for the hearing.
Notwithstanding §§6204.1, the Board may serve the registrant by electronic mail if they agree to accept service by email. Service shall be sent to the email address on file or the registrant or their resident agent or counsel and shall be deemed served on the date and time stated on the email.
The holder of the registration of permit shall appear in his or her defense in person or virtually and may have representation by counsel or other designated representative and shall be entitled to offer evidence before the Board with respect to the charges.
If the person whose registration or permit is sought to be suspended or revoked waives the hearing or fails to appear at the time and place set for the hearing, the Board may proceed ex parte, unless the Board extends the time for the hearing.
The Board shall make its findings of fact based upon the evidence which has been presented to it.
The Board may, in its discretion, accept from both (1) the holder of the registration or permittee and (2) the Office of the Attorney General or the prosecuting entity an offer in compromise and settlement to resolve the charges brought at the show cause hearing by the District of Columbia against the holder of the registration or permit. An offer in compromise and settlement may be tendered to the Board at any time prior to the issuance of a decision by the Board on the contested matter.
An offer submitted by the parties and accepted by the Board shall constitute a waiver of appeal and judicial review.
A show cause hearing shall be conducted pursuant to the procedures set forth in Chapter 17 of Title 23 of the DCMR.
