to have been violated, and the cabinet shall require the person complained
against to answer the charges at an administrative hearing to be held not less

hearing. Unless the cabinet considers the petition frivolous, it shall schedule an

shall be held within five (5) working days of receipt of a petition. The right to
demand a hearing under this subsection shall be limited to a period of thirty

complained of, or could have had notice. The cabinet shall be represented at
the administrative hearing by the Office of Legal Services.
