Okla. Stat. tit. 37A, § 37A-2-151: Commission authority to conduct initial hearing

The ABLE Commission shall have the authority to conduct an

initial hearing when a hearing is required by law. The Director of

the ABLE Commission may employ such hearing officers and assistants

as are necessary to conduct the hearings. If a hearing is conducted

by a hearing officer, the hearing officer shall issue a report to

the ABLE Commission. The report of the hearing officer shall

include findings of fact and conclusions of law. Notice of the

recommendation of the hearing officer shall be sent to the last-

known address of the licensee. If the licensee disagrees with the

recommendation of the hearing officer, the licensee may request a

hearing before the ABLE Commission for a review of the record. If

the licensee fails to request a review of the record within fifteen

(15) days after the date of the notice of the hearing officer's

decision, the recommendation of the hearing officer shall become a

final order of the ABLE Commission. A failure to request a review

of the record by the ABLE Commission in a timely manner shall

constitute a failure to exhaust administrative remedies.
