Before the registry is notified that a finding of resident abuse, verbal abuse, or exploitation of a resident in a nursing facility has been made against a nontechnical services worker, the Department shall offer the nontechnical services worker an opportunity for a hearing. If the nontechnical services worker fails to request a hearing in writing within thirty (30) days from the date of the notice, the Department shall include on the registry a finding of resident abuse, verbal abuse, or exploitation of a resident in a nursing facility against the nontechnical services worker.
