DIGEST
SB 215 Original 2016 Regular Session Carter
Present law provides that any party aggrieved by a decision of the commissioner to withhold,
suspend, or revoke a permit may, within 30 days of the notification of the decision, take a devolutive
or suspensive appeal to the district court having jurisdiction of the applicant's or permittee's place
of business.
Proposed law reduces the time from 30 days to 10 days after proper notification of the
commissioner's decision for an applicant's appeal to a district court having jurisdiction of the
applicant's place of business.
Proposed law removes an applicant's right to a suspensive appeal of the commissioner's decision and
leaves only a devolutive appeal as a remedy.
Effective upon signature of the governor or lapse of time for gubernatorial action.
