761—540.9  (321N)  Appeal.
	   540.9(1) A transportation network company whose permit has been suspended, revoked, or denied may request an informal settlement or a contested case proceeding as provided in 761—Chapter 13 to contest said action.
	   540.9(2) The request shall be submitted in writing, to the director of the office of vehicle and motor carrier services, at the address indicated in subrule 540.3(1), and may be submitted electronically by facsimile, e-mail or other means prescribed by the department. To be timely, the request must be submitted within 20 days of service of the notice of suspension, revocation, or denial. Failure to contest denial of a permit application does not preclude the transportation network company from submitting a new application for a permit at any time after the denial.
	   540.9(3) When the department receives a properly submitted, timely request for an informal settlement or contested case proceeding or an appeal of a presiding officer’s proposed decision regarding a suspension or revocation, the department shall stay the suspension or revocation pending resolution of the informal resolution, contested case, or appeal.
