650.255. Commissions, suspension, reinstatement, procedure — lost, replaced, how. — 1. An inspector's commission may be suspended by the director after due investigation and recommendation by the board, for the incompetence or untrustworthiness of the holder thereof or for willful falsification of any matter or statement contained in his application or in a report of any inspection made by him. Written notice of any such suspension shall be given by the director within not more than ten days thereof to the inspector and his employer. A person whose commission has been suspended shall be entitled to an appeal to the board as provided in section 650.285 and to be present in person or to be represented by counsel at the hearing of the appeal.

2. If the board has reason to believe that a licensed inspector is no longer qualified to hold his commission, the board shall, upon not less than ten days' written notice to the inspector and his employer, hold a hearing at which the inspector and his employer shall have an opportunity to be heard. If, as a result of the hearing, the board finds that the inspector is no longer qualified to hold his commission, the board shall recommend to the director that the commission shall be revoked and the director shall thereupon revoke the commission forthwith.

3. A person whose commission has been suspended shall be entitled to apply, after ninety days from the date of the suspension, for reinstatement of the commission.

4. If a commission is lost or destroyed, a new commission shall be issued in its place without another examination.
