§ 67. Order to Show Cause.

(a) Before denying, suspending, revoking or refusing to renew a registration, DPHSS shall serve upon

the applicant or registrant an order to show cause why registration should not be denied, suspended or

revoked, or the renewal refused. The order must state its grounds and direct the applicant or registrant to

appear before DPHSS at a specified time and place not less than thirty (30) days after the date of service of

the order. In case of a refusal to renew a registration, the order must he served not later than thirty (30) days

before expiration of the registration. The proceedings must be conducted in accordance with the

Administrative Adjudication Law, 5 GCA § 9100, et seq. The proceedings do not preclude any criminal

prosecution or other proceeding. A proceedings to refuse to renew a registration does not affect the existing

registration, which remains in effect until completion of the proceedings.

(b) DPHSS may suspend, without an order to show cause, a registration simultaneously with the

institution of proceedings under § 67.304, or if renewal, of registration is refused, upon finding that there

is an imminent danger to the public health and safety which warrants the action. The suspension continues

in effect until the conclusion of the proceedings, including judicial review, unless earlier by DPHSS or

dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
