The local department shall notify the Office of Administrative Hearings of the appeal. The Office of Administrative Hearings shall hold a hearing and issue a decision within 45 days of receiving the request. Additional Hearing Rights Under COMAR 07.02.26. If a local department removes a child from a resource home because of a child protective services finding, the local department shall advise the resource parents of the rights of the alleged maltreater to request a hearing under COMAR 07.02.26 to challenge that finding.
