§ 31-10-42. Hearing on denial, suspension, or revocation of driver's school or instructor's licenses
— Review.
(a) The administrator of the division of motor vehicles shall notify an applicant for
a driver's school or instructor's license of the denial of his or her application
and a licensee of the proposed suspension or revocation of his or her license by mailing
to the applicant or licensee, postage prepaid, a written notice stating the ground
or grounds for the denial or proposed suspension or revocation and designating the
place and a time not less than five (5) days later for a hearing thereon before the
administrator of the division of motor vehicles, if a hearing is requested by the
applicant or licensee. The administrator of the division of motor vehicles may adopt
reasonable rules and regulations governing the procedure to be followed in any matter
that may come before him or her for hearing, may administer oaths, subpoena and examine
witnesses, compel the production of documents and other evidence, take depositions
of witnesses residing without the state, and order payment of witness fees and mileage,
all in the same manner as in civil actions in the superior court. The administrator
of the division of motor vehicles, however, shall not be bound by technical rules
of evidence.
(b) Any person aggrieved by the denial of an application or the suspension or revocation
of a license may, within thirty (30) days from the date the notice is mailed to that
person, file in the supreme court a petition, duly verified, for a writ of certiorari,
setting forth that the decision is illegal in whole or in part and specifying the
grounds of illegality. Upon presentation of that petition, the court may allow a writ
of certiorari directed to the administrator of the division of motor vehicles to review
the decision of the administrator of the division of motor vehicles and shall prescribe
in it the time within which return must be made. The allowance of the writ shall not
stay proceedings upon the decision or the effect of them, but the court, upon application
of the person aggrieved, may stay those proceedings or the effect of them.
