§ 19-21. Rules for proceedings and appeals.
The Board shall be deemed to be an agency within the meaning of Article 3 of the State
Administrative Procedure Act and shall adopt rules governing the conduct of adjudicatory
proceedings and appeals taken pursuant to a proceeding commenced under Article 78 of the

suspended or vacated within 30 days of imposition, with respect to the assessment of such
penalty, or unless such denial of request is reversed within such time period and, upon
becoming final, shall be subject to review at the insistence of the affected reporting
individuals in a proceeding commenced against the Board pursuant to Article 78 of the Civil
Practice Law and Rules of the State of New York.
