A. Prior to rescission of designation of a community action

agency, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce shall:

1. Determine whether the existing or proposed community action

agency is in compliance with Sections 41, 42 and 43 of this act;

2. Evaluate the existing or proposed community action agency

service area, and, as may be necessary, modify the boundaries of the

service area so that services will be adequately and efficiently

provided;

3. Provide a written notice containing the reasons for the

anticipated action to the chairman of the board of the existing or

proposed community action agency.

B. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce may rescind the

designation of a community action agency if it is found that the

community action agency is not in compliance with any or all of the

provisions of Sections 41, 42 and 43 of this act.

Any agency whose designation is rescinded pursuant to this

section may appeal the order of rescission in accordance with

existing state and federal law. The Oklahoma Department of Commerce

shall consider a community action agency or agencies for the

assumption of all or a portion of the service area of a community

action agency with contiguous borders whose designation may be

rescinded.
