When the board determines that the holder of any license issued pursuant to this chapter has violated any provisions thereof or any rules and regulations pursuant thereto, the board shall authorize suspension or revocation of such license. Proceedings under the provisions of this section shall not be dependent upon having exhausted remedies through any other section of this chapter. The board shall notify the suspected violator at least fifteen days before the board hearing therefor, shall specify to him the grounds for which such license revocation is proposed with such sufficiency as to protect his constitutional rights therein as in other civil hearings pertaining to license revocations, shall give him opportunity to present any witnesses or other reasonable evidence before the board, and shall comply with established rules of procedure for such board hearings. Any such order of revocation of license shall become effective thirty days after service thereof. The aggrieved party may appeal from the board’s finding to a court of competent jurisdiction as provided by the laws of the state, provided notice of appeal is given to the board within ten days of such board action.
