Either party aggrieved by the decision of the hearings office shall have the right to appeal that decision. A related institution subject to a sanction shall have the right to appeal a decision by the Secretary that the hazardous condition has not been corrected or that inadequate progress has been made toward correcting the hazardous condition. Such appeal shall be filed within 30 days of the action to be appealed. The appeal shall be taken directly to the circuit court of the jurisdiction in which the related institution is located. Appeal to the circuit court does not stay the imposition of the sanction.
