R 792.10712 Limited license; reclassification; standards and procedures.
Rule 712.
(1) The limitations on a license shall continue until the expiration of the period of limitation set forth in the order or until
the license is reclassified pursuant to this rule, whichever is later. The period of limitation set forth in the order is
a minimum period.
(2) A petition for reclassification of a license that has been limited shall be made in accordance with this
rule.
(3) If a license is limited for 1 year or less, it is presumed that the petitioner meets the requirements of
section 7316 or 16249 of the code, MCL 333.7316 or MCL 333.16249, unless 1 of the following provisions applies:
(a) The order imposing the limitations provides otherwise.
(b) Another complaint has been filed and is pending at the end of the period of limitation.
(c) A subsequent disciplinary order has been entered.
(d) A response in opposition to reclassification has been filed by a complaining party alleging that the
petitioner has failed to fulfill a term of the order imposing the limitations.
(4) If a license is limited for an unspecified period of time or for more than 1 year, or if the petitioner is not entitled to a
presumption pursuant to subrule (3) of this rule, then the license shall not be reclassified until the disciplinary
subcommittee finds that the petitioner meets the requirements of section 7316 or 16249 of the code, MCL 333.7316 or
MCL 333.16249.
(5) A petition, with supporting affidavits, shall not be filed for at least 1 year after the effective date of the
order imposing the limitations, unless otherwise provided in the order.
(6) Within 30 days after the petition is filed, a complaining party may file a response to the petition.
If the response opposes the reclassification, a hearing shall be scheduled. If the petitioner fails to appear
at the scheduled hearing, either in person or by counsel, the petitioner shall be deemed in default. If a response
is not filed or if the response does not oppose reclassification, the disciplinary subcommittee shall
review the petition with supporting affidavits and shall determine whether the requirements of section 7316 or
16249 of the code have been met. If it is found that the requirements have not been met, the petitioner shall
be notified and, within 30 days after service of the notice, may request a hearing. The petition for
reclassification shall be deemed denied if the petitioner does not file a timely request for a hearing.
(7) After a hearing has been completed, the disciplinary subcommittee shall determine
whether the petitioner has satisfied section 7316 or 16249 of the code. The disciplinary subcommittee may
deny the petition or grant the petition subject to such terms and conditions as it may deem appropriate.
(8) A subsequent petition for reclassification shall not be filed with the department for at least 1 year after the
effective date of the order denying reclassification, unless otherwise ordered by the disciplinary subcommittee.
