to issue, renew or discipline of a license.
The hearing officer shall have full authority to conduct the hearing. The
hearing officer shall report his or her findings and recommendations to the Board
and the Secretary. The Board shall have 60 days from receipt of the report
to review the report of the hearing officer and present its findings of
