§ 13-124. Denial, suspension or revocation of certification or renewal.

(a)

The director may refuse to issue or renew a food handler's certificate or may suspend or revoke a food handler's certification if the applicant or holder obtains a certified food handlers certification under false or deceptive circumstances.

(b)

Prior to suspension or revocation of a food handler's certificate the director shall notify the certified food handler, in writing, of the reasons for which the certification is subject to suspension or revocation and that the certification shall be suspended or revoked at the end of a specified time period following service of such notice unless a written request for hearing is filed with the director within ten (10) days of delivery of the notice. If no request for hearing is filed within the ten-day period, the suspension or revocation of certification shall become final.

(c)

An individual whose food handlers certificate has been suspended or revoked shall not be reinstated or granted a new certificate until he or she has fulfilled all the conditions of said suspension or revocation, which conditions may include, but are not limited to, taking a food handlers certification course acceptable to the director.
