  2. Title 2

A. The Board may, for such period, or indefinitely, as it deems

necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act, refuse to provide,

or withdraw, inspection service under this act with respect to any

establishment if it determines, after opportunity for a hearing is

accorded to the applicant for, or recipient of, such service, that

such applicant or recipient is unfit to engage in any business

requiring inspection upon this act because the applicant or

recipient, or anyone responsibly connected with the applicant or

recipient, has been convicted, in any federal or state court, within

the previous ten (10) years, of

1. any felony or more than one misdemeanor under any law based

upon the acquiring, handling, or distributing of adulterated,

mislabeled, or deceptively packaged food or fraud in connection with

transactions in food; or

2. any felony, involving fraud, bribery, extortion, or any

other act or circumstances indicating a lack of the integrity needed

for the conduct of operations affecting the public health. For the

purpose of this paragraph, a person shall be deemed to be

responsibly connected with the business if he was a partner,

officer, director, holder, or owner of ten percent (10%) or more of

its voting stock or employee in a managerial or executive capacity.

B. Upon the withdrawal of inspection service from any official

establishment for failure to destroy condemned poultry products as

required under Section 6 of this act, or other failure of an

official establishment to comply with the requirements as to

premises, facilities, or equipment, or the operation thereof, as

provided in Section 7 of this act, or the refusal of inspection

service to any applicant therefor because of failure to comply with

any requirements under Section 7, the applicant for, or recipient

of, the service shall, upon request, be afforded opportunity for a

hearing with respect to the merits or validity of such action; but

such withdrawal or refusal shall continue in effect unless otherwise

ordered by the Board.

C. The determination and order of the Board, when made after

opportunity for hearing, with respect to withdrawal or refusal of

inspection service under this act, shall be final and conclusive

unless the affected applicant for, or recipient of, inspection

service files application for judicial review within thirty (30)

days after the effective date of such order in the District Court of

Oklahoma County. Judicial review of any such order shall be upon

the record upon which the determination and order are based.
