<div class="chunk-content">
            <p class="p0">
               A pet shop owner or operator may appeal the sanctions described in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH8BU_ARTIVPESH_S8-100SAPEFIRE" class="section-link" data-product-id="12650">section 8-100</a> by requesting a hearing before the board of commissioners. A request for hearing
               must be made in writing and must be sent to the animal control director and the clerk
               to the board of commissioners. Upon receipt of the request for hearing the animal
               control director shall cease any enforcement activities described in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH8BU_ARTIVPESH_S8-100SAPEFIRE" class="section-link" data-product-id="12650">section 8-100</a>. Once the notice of appeal is received by the animal control director or clerk to
               the board of commissioners, the pet shop owner or operator shall be allowed to continue
               selling or trading animals during the appeal process. If the pet shop continues to
               operate during the appeal process and the appeal is resolved in favor of animal control,
               any civil penalty assessed shall be retroactive to the date of the violation in question.
               A hearing shall be held by the board of commissioners within 15 days after the date
               of the request for hearing or at the next regularly scheduled meeting, whichever is
               later. A pet shop owner or operator may appeal the sanctions described in <a href="" data-chunk-id="COOR_CH8BU_ARTIVPESH_S8-100SAPEFIRE" class="section-link" data-product-id="12650">section 8-100</a> by appealing to the appropriate court.
