A license revocation or forfeiture shall occur pursuant to this section only after the licensee has had an opportunity, upon due notice, for an informal hearing before the chair of the commission, to show cause why the license should not be revoked and the licensee's right to grow forfeited. The chair of the commission may revoke any license of a person who has pled guilty to, or been convicted of, a felony. If a license is revoked and a licensee's right to grow is forfeited as the result of an informal hearing, the decision may be appealed, and upon appeal an administrative hearing shall be conducted before the commission in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B. The licensee may appeal the final order of the commission by filing a petition in the Fayette Circuit Court, or the Circuit Court in which the licensee resides, in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B.
