§ 23-17.7.1-8. Denial, suspension, or revocation of license. The licensing agency, after notice and opportunity for a hearing to the applicant or licensee, is authorized to deny, suspend, or revoke a license in any case in which it finds that there has been failure to comply with the requirements established under and pursuant to this chapter. The notice shall be effected by registered or certified mail or by personal service, setting forth the particular reasons for the proposed action and fixing a date not less than thirty (30) days from the date of the mailing or service, at which time the applicant or licensee shall be given an opportunity for a prompt and fair hearing. On the basis of the hearing, or upon the failure of the applicant or licensee to appear, the licensing agency shall make a determination specifying its findings of fact and conclusion of law. A copy of the determination shall be sent by registered or certified mail or served personally upon the applicant or licensee. The decision denying, suspending, or revoking the license or application shall become final thirty (30) days after it is so mailed or served, unless the applicant or licensee, within the thirty (30) day period, appeals the decision pursuant to § 42-35-15. The procedure governing hearings authorized by this section shall be in accordance with §§ 42-35-9 - 42-35-13 as stipulated in § 42-35-14(a).
