(b) Any application denial or registrant discipline shall be done in good faith and in a fair and reasonable manner.

(c) A procedure is fair and reasonable if all of the following apply:

(1) It provides the giving of 15 days prior notice of the application denial or registration discipline and the reasons therefor.

(2) It provides an opportunity for the applicant or registrant to be heard, either orally or in writing, not less than five days before the effective date of the application denial or registrant discipline by a person or body authorized to decide that the proposed application denial or registrant discipline not take place.

(d) Any notice required under this section may be given by any method reasonably calculated to provide actual notice. Any notice given by mail must be given by first-class or express mail sent to the last address of the applicant or registrant shown on the council’s records.

(f) The council may charge applicants and registrants a reasonable regulatory fee as a condition of any hearing requested by the applicant or registrant for the purpose of contesting denial of a registration or discipline of a registrant. This fee shall not exceed the reasonable cost to the council of providing the hearing. Upon a favorable judgment for the council in any proceeding, the council shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees.
