§ 8-481. Appealing adverse decision of adult-oriented establishment board.

(a)

Any individual or entity whose application has been denied by the adult-oriented establishment board, or whose license or permit the board has suspended, revoked, or annulled, pursuant to the state adult-oriented establishment registration act, may appeal such decision by common-law writ of certiorari according to the procedures of state law.

(b)

Any such administrative decision to suspend, revoke, or annul a license or permit that is appealed to the circuit or chancery courts of the county shall not take effect until that administrative decision has been upheld by the court after adjudication on the merits. Adverse decisions of the board that are not appealed shall not take effect for 60 days from the date of the decision to allow the affected party time to seek judicial review.
