Latest version.

  • (a)

    Permits issued under this chapter may be suspended or revoked by the director upon violation by the owner or operator of any of the terms of this chapter and upon written notice from the director or his representative. When such permit is suspended or revoked the operation of the establishment shall cease as stipulated in the written notice of suspension or revocation.

    (b)

    Whenever a permit to operate an establishment is suspended or revoked, the owner or operator of said establishment may request a hearing with the director provided that the request is in writing and it is filed with the director within ten (10) working days of the suspension or revocation. If no request for hearing is filed within the ten-day period, the suspension or revocation of the permit to operate becomes final. If a request for hearing is filed within the ten-day period, the director shall hold the hearing and render a decision in writing to the owner or operator of the establishment within ten (10) working days of receipt of the request. The decision of the director is final.

    (c)

    A suspended permit may be reinstated provided a written application for reinstatement is submitted to the director and provided that the violated provisions of this chapter have been corrected. The director or his representative shall make a reinspection and thereafter as many reinspections as may be necessary to assure that the applicant has complied with the requirements of this chapter. If the director finds that compliance has been accomplished, the permit shall be reinstated. The fee for reinstatement of a permit under this chapter shall be one hundred dollars ($100.00).

    (d)

    Whenever a revocation of a permit has become final the holder of such revoked permit may make written application for a new permit to operate provided the director is satisfied that the provisions of this chapter have been met and any additional provisions, with regard to training, that the director deems necessary, are met. The new permit shall be processed and the fee paid as provided in this chapter for new permits.

    (e)

    Any establishment which had its permit revoked two (2) times in a 36-month period will be ineligible to apply for a new permit for six (6) calendar months after the second or subsequent revocation.
