If the board suspends or revokes a certificate or permit, refuses to renew a permit, or revokes or limits practice privileges granted pursuant to SDCL 36-20B-66 or 36-20B-67, the individual or firm affected may petition the board in writing requesting modification of the suspension, revocation, refusal to renew, or limits on practice privileges. The petition may be filed with the board no less than two years after the effective date of the board's decision unless the board specifies a shorter period in its decision.
A petition for modification of discipline under this section must be accompanied by a fee of $1,000 to cover anticipated costs of the reinstatement proceeding. Anticipated costs include legal fees, court reporter costs, and service fees.
Upon receipt of the petition, the board shall schedule a formal hearing in accordance with SDCL chapter 1-26. The petitioner must demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the petitioner has the qualifications necessary for initial issuance of a certificate or permit, that resumption of the practice of public accountancy or the exercise of practice privileges pursuant to SDCL 36-20B-66 or 36-20B-67 will not be detrimental to the integrity and standing of the profession or subversive to the public interest, and that there is good cause for the board to modify its previous action. The board may not act on a subsequent petition until the expiration of at least one year from the effective date of the board's last ruling on the preceding petition.
