Any interested person dissatisfied with a decision of the director made pursuant to Section 5-30 may appeal the decision to an appeal hearing officer by filing a written appeal with the director with the appeal period specified in subsection (d) of Section 5-30 and depositing therewith an amount of money equal to the estimated cost of transcribing the oral proceedings before the director and the cost of duplicating three (3) copies of the administrative record, including all exhibits introduced at the hearing. If the actual cost of preparing the transcript and duplicating the administrative record is more than the amount deposited by the appellant, the appellant shall deposit the deficiency. If less, the director shall refund the difference to the appellant.
