The COBID will conduct a contested case hearing in accordance with ORS 183.310 to 183.550. Following the contested case hearing, the Hearings Officer will forward a proposed order to the COBID. The manager of the COBID will issue a final order.(e) If the applicant or firm representative files an appeal in writing or requests a contested case hearing, the COBID will stay the denial or decertification pending the issuance of the final order. If the applicant or certified firm does not submit a written appeal or request for a contested case hearing to the COBID within the 21-day period, the denial or decertification shall be final. (2) An applicant or firm representative may withdraw an application or certification if there is no longer a desire to participate in the program.
