Appendix 4516. Suspension and revocation.

(a)

Suspension and Revocation by Hearing Officer. A license with respect to which notice has been given pursuant to Section 4515 is subject to suspension or revocation following a hearing conducted in accordance with Article 1.6 (commencing with Section 4550) of this Chapter. Following the hearing, if the hearing officer determines that the suspected failure identified in the notice has occurred, the hearing officer may suspend or revoke the license as the facts may warrant; provided however, that the hearing officer shall have the discretion not to suspend or revoke the license if the hearing officer determines that the failure was not willful, is not ongoing, and is not likely to recur.

(b)

Suspension by the Unified Program Manager. The unified program manager may suspend a license prior to a hearing when the unified program manager determines that such action is necessary to protect the public health and safety, the environment or domestic livestock or wildlife from imminent danger. The CUPA shall notify the person to whom the license was issued of such suspension. The suspension shall remain in effect until the hearing officer makes a final determination after the hearing; provided however, that the unified program manager may lift the suspension at any earlier time at which the manager determines that it is no longer necessary.

(c)

Other Remedies. This Section shall not deprive the CUPA or the County of the authority to pursue any other action or remedy otherwise available under the law.
