				In no event shall the recertification application fee exceed thirty (30)
				dollars.

				of the Regulations of Connecticut State Agencies. Upon receipt of such
				recommendation, the Secretary shall promptly issue a new certificate in such
				applicant's name.

				shall include information as to how a reconsideration of such denial may be
				requested.
(e) A person whose
				application for recertification is denied may file a written request for a
				reconsideration of the Committee's decision. Any such request, which shall
				include the reason(s) why the appellant believes he or she should be
				recommended for recertification, shall be sent by courier service to the
				Committee chair within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the notice of
				denial. The Committee shall reconsider its decision at the next regularly
				scheduled meeting following receipt of such request, or at a special meeting
				called for said purpose.
(f) The
				Committee may require the appellant to appear at such meeting to answer any
				pertinent questions or to supply any additional information that may be

				hours notice of the requirement to appear. The Committee's decision with regard
				to any such reconsideration shall be final. The appellant shall be sent written
				notification of such decision within ten (10) days of the adjournment of said
