§ 9-155. Suspension, revocation of ambulance licenses, or certificates

The health officer shall be empowered to suspend a license or certificate pending a hearing if he determines such action is necessary to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The period of such suspension shall not exceed sixty (60) days. The health officer shall also be empowered, after conducting a hearing, to revoke a license or certificate. Suspension and revocation shall be on the grounds that the license or certificate holder, or any partner, officer or director:

(a) Violated any section of the department, any applicable regulations promulgated by the department or any applicable state laws or regulations concerning ambulance services.

(b) Has committed any acts which would constitute grounds for denial of a license or certificate.

The certificate holder or licensee shall be given written notice of the reasons for the suspension or the proposed revocation, together with the time and place of the hearing thereon, which notice shall be given at least fifteen (15) days prior to the hearing.
