| (a) An applicant/licensee may appeal the denial/revocation
of a license by filing a written appeal request with the Williamson
County Tax Assessor-Collector within 30 days of the date notice is
sent under §435.13(b) of this chapter (relating to Denial or
Revocation of License). Any information/documentation in support of
such appeal must be submitted with the appeal request.
(b) The Williamson County Tax Assessor-Collector shall
appoint a Review Board consisting of five members. At least one member
of the Review Board shall be a law enforcement officer. The Williamson
County Tax Assessor-Collector may appoint one or more Williamson County
Tax Assessor-Collector employees to serve on the Board. Provided at
least one law enforcement officer is in attendance, appeals shall
be reviewed at a meeting of at least three members of the Board. Such
meetings shall be held periodically as determined by the Williamson
County Tax Assessor-Collector.
(c) Timely filed appeals will be scheduled for review
at the next Review Board meeting, which shall take place no less than
sixty (60) days following the filing of the appeal. An applicant/licensee

discretion, provide testimony in support of the appeal. The Board
also has discretion to consider documentation not timely provided
under subsection (a) of this section.

attendance shall preside over the meeting and determine when each
appeal has been sufficiently considered, discussed and reviewed by
the members in attendance. Following such determination, each member
in attendance shall state and briefly describe the reasons for his/her
opinion as to whether the action appealed should be sustained. Thereafter,
the presiding law enforcement officer shall independently make a written
recommendation to the Williamson County Tax Assessor-Collector. The
written recommendation shall be signed by the presiding officer and
shall identify which, if any, of the other members in attendance did
not agree with it.
(e) Within fifteen (15) days of receiving the presiding
officer's written recommendation, the Williamson County Tax Assessor-Collector
shall make a final determination on the appeal. The Williamson County
Tax Assessor-Collector shall consider the presiding officer's recommendation
before making the final determination.
