All appeals shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 119 of the Revised Code, except that, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Chapter 119 of the Revised Code, an applicant, certificate holder, registrant, or licensee may appeal the decision of the board to any court of common pleas.
