Mo. Code Regs. tit. 15 § 30-130.080
Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 24, December 16, 2024
Section 15 CSR 30-130.080 - Request for HearingPURPOSE: This rule prescribes how a professional employer organization (PEO) may request a hearing for any disciplinary action the secretary intends to take.
(1) When a PEO receives a notice of disciplinary action from the secretary, the PEO may request a hearing. A request for hearing must be received by the secretary no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the PEO receives the notice of discipline. Failure to file a request for hearing within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of said notice shall constitute waiver of a hearing.(2) If a PEO does not request a hearing, or fails to request a hearing within thirty (30) calendar days, as outlined in section (1) above, the secretary shall still make findings pursuant to section 285.750.3, RSMo.(3) A request for hearing must be signed by the PEO or its attorney. It must also contain the name, mailing address, and telephone number of the PEO (or the name, address, and telephone number of the PEO's attorney). The request for hearing must be mailed to the Office of the Secretary of State, PEO Registration, PO Box 1767, Jefferson City, MO 65102.(4) A PEO may request that a hearing be conducted by telephone. If so, the PEO must include that information in its request for hearing and provide a good telephone number that the PEO will use during the hearing. The PEO is responsible for a good connection if it requests a telephone hearing, and the secretary is not responsible for any disruption caused by a poor cell phone signal. If a party or witness leaves the phone for any reason, or the connection is disconnected, all such action shall be considered voluntary, and the hearing shall proceed without such party or witness.Adopted by Missouri Register April 15, 2019/Volume 44, Number 8, effective 5/31/2019
