Section 475:1-5-10 - Final order

(a) As soon as practicable after the hearing officer has certified the record to the Director, as required in 475:1-5-9, the Director shall issue his/her order in the proceeding, which shall set forth the final rule or decision and the findings of fact and conclusions of law upon which the rule or decision is based. This order shall specify the date on which it shall take effect, which shall not be less than thirty (30) days from the date of the order unless the Director finds that emergency conditions exist necessitating an earlier effective date, in which event the Director shall specify in the order his/her findings as to such conditions. Any reportable action taken as the result of a Final Order from a hearing or an Agreed Order shall be reported to the National Practitioner Data Bank pursuant to 45 CFR § 60.1 et seq.

(b) Any respondent who fails to request a hearing, after notice of a written order, or who fails to appear after requesting a hearing, may be determined to have waived the right to appear and present a defense. Failure to request a hearing shall result in the written order becoming the Final Order of the agency. If a hearing is requested, the Director may enter a default judgment against any party who fails to participate in the administrative hearing.
