Terms Used In Washington Code 39.19.150
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
(a) The office’s rules or regulations were improperly applied; or
(b) Material facts relating to the minority and women’s business enterprise’s certification application to the office are untrue.
(2) The petitioner shall carry the burden of persuasion. The affected minority or women’s business enterprise shall receive notice of the petition and an opportunity to respond.
(3) After reviewing the information presented in support of and in opposition to the petition, the office shall issue a written decision, granting or denying the petition. If the office grants the petition, it may revoke, suspend, or refuse to renew the certification or impose sanctions under this chapter as appropriate.
(4) The office’s decision on a petition is administratively final and the rights of appeal set out in the office regulations shall apply. A certification shall remain in effect while a petition is pending.
