The referee shall be notified that he shall not be assigned to referee another contest until a hearing is held. If the referee requests a hearing, a hearing shall be held within thirty days of the request. The commission itself may conduct the hearing, or it may delegate this responsibility to any duly authorized representative of the commission, who shall then make a recommendation to the commission in the matter. The hearing shall be held to determine whether the referee's license shall be revoked or suspended or other appropriate action taken by the commission. The decision of the commission shall be final.

The executive officer may consider all bouts over which the referee presided, regardless of whether the referee received any formal evaluation and regardless of whether that evaluation was satisfactory. The referee may request a hearing within thirty days from the date of the notification. If the referee requests a hearing, a hearing shall be held within thirty days of the request. The commission itself may conduct the hearing, or it may delegate this responsibility to any duly authorized representative of the commission, who shall then make a recommendation to the commission in the matter.
