Board adopts adjudication policy spelling out 30-day appeal window and hearing timeline
Summary
The board approved a new adjudication policy that requires an aggrieved person to file written notice within 30 days, directs the local health director to notify the board within five working days, and requires the board to hold a hearing within 10 days.
The Scotland County Board of Health approved a new adjudication policy that creates a defined appeals process for enforcement actions taken under local health rules.
Under the policy presented by Miss Holland, "If an aggrieved person chooses to appeal any imposition, they are to submit a written notice to the local health director within 30 days. Once I receive that, I have, 5 days, working days to notice the board of health of the appeal, and then the board of health has to hold a hearing within 10 days." The policy also covers administrative penalties that may be imposed by the local health director.
Board members discussed examples of local rules that could trigger the process—Miss Holland cited a solid-waste enforcement issue and a seafood rule as examples—and then approved the adjudication policy by voice vote.
