Any stop sale order issued under the terms of the act or these regulations shall be served upon the vendor personally and upon the manufacturer and distributor, if their identity is known, by certified mail. The vendor, manufacturer or distributor ("accused parties") shall then have thirty (30) days after service of the said order upon them within which to request an informal administrative review before the Director of the Bureau of Plant Industry in the Department, or his designee, who shall act as reviewing officer. The accused parties and the Bureau may submit documents in support of their respective positions, as there will be no evidentiary hearing held concerning the charges at the initial stage. This initial informal administrative review will be conducted in accordance with the provisions of Miss. Code Ann. § 69-25-51, except that the stop sale order shall serve as the complaint. If the accused parties do not request an informal administrative review within said time, then they will be deemed to have waived their right to same. After the reviewing officer has made his decision, the parties shall have the same rights of appeal and shall follow the same procedures as set forth in Miss. Code Ann. §§ 69-25-51, et seq.
