The Director shall conduct a hearing within 20 days of the request and may affirm, modify or reverse his or her initial decision. The Director’s final decision shall be based upon substantial evidence presented at the hearing that a licensee, registrant or officer has:
    (1) Failed to comply with the restriction, requirements and conditions of this chapter or with such procedures as have been enacted by the Director pursuant to § 124.10 of this chapter or;
    (2) Knowingly provided false information to gain or to maintain a license or registration under this chapter.

Service of notice shall be deemed complete upon certified mailing, return receipt requested or personal delivery. At the hearing, the Director shall afford the licensee, registrant or officer an opportunity to be represented by an attorney, to present evidence, to cross-examine adverse witnesses and otherwise to rebut the evidence against the appellant. Within ten days after the hearing, the Director shall publish his or her final decision of the issue or issues on appeal.
    (C) The final decision of the Director shall be determinative of the issues raised in the appeal but the Director’s decision may be appealed to a court of competent jurisdiction. During the pendency of any such judicial appeal, the Director’s final decision shall be enforced unless otherwise ordered by the court.
