An order, decision, or other official act which revokes a registration or license issued by the commissioner, may be appealed by a person concerned by filing a notice of appeal with the Administrative Law Court as provided in Sections 1-23-380(B) and 1-23-600(D) and by serving the commissioner or someone of discretion at his office, within thirty days after receipt of written notice of the order, decision, or official act affecting the registration or license of the person concerned. The commissioner, within thirty days after service of the notice of appeal, shall make a return to the Administrative Law Court as provided in its appellate rules. Editor's Note 2006 Act No. 387, SECTION 53, provides as follows: "This act is intended to provide a uniform procedure for contested cases and appeals from administrative agencies and to the extent that a provision of this act conflicts with an existing statute or regulation, the provisions of this act are controlling." 2006 Act No. 387, SECTION 57, provides as follows: "This act takes effect on July 1, 2006, and applies to any actions pending on or after the effective date of the act.
