§ 74972 Commission Appeal Procedures

Key Takeaways

  • •If you're unhappy with a decision made by the commission, you can ask for a simple, informal meeting to talk about it.
  • •If you still don't like the decision after that meeting, you can ask the secretary to look at it again.
  • •If you're still not happy, you can take it to court, and a judge will decide.
  • •While waiting for the final decision, you have to follow the commission's original decision.

Example

You apply for a special license to sell food at a fair, but the commission says no. You think it's unfair because you followed all the rules.

First, you can ask the commission for a simple meeting to explain why you think their decision is wrong. If they still say no, you can ask the secretary to review it. If the secretary also says no, you can take it to court. But while waiting for all this, you have to follow the commission's 'no' and can't sell food at the fair yet.
