If the alleged perpetrator or the department disagrees with the ALJ's initial decision, either party may challenge the initial decision by filing a petition for review with the department's board of appeals in accordance with chapter 34.05 RCW and chapter 388-02 WAC. If the alleged perpetrator files a petition for review, the department will not change the substantiated finding in its records until a final decision is issued on the alleged perpetrator's petition for review.
