§ 26:1a-43.

Any license issued in accordance with the provisions of this article, and any health

officer's license or sanitary inspector's license heretofore issued by the Department of Health , may be suspended or revoked, after notice and hearing conducted by an administrative

law judge pursuant to the “Administrative Procedure Act,” P. L.1968, c. 410 ( C.52:14B-1 et seq. ), for any of the following causes: a. Violation of any of the provisions of this act or of any law relating to public

health; b. Violation of any provision of the State Sanitary Code; 1 c. Violation of any applicable local health regulation or ordinance; d. Any act or happening occurring after the making of application for such license

which, if the same had occurred prior to said time, would have prevented the issuance

of such license; or e. A conviction in a court of competent jurisdiction, either within or outside this

State, of a crime involving moral turpitude, except that if the conviction is reversed

and the holder of the license is discharged or acquitted, or if the holder is pardoned

or the civil rights of the holder are restored, the holder may obtain a license. Notwithstanding any provision of section 10 of P.L.1968, c. 410 ( C.52:14B-10 ) to the contrary, the commissioner, before adopting, rejecting or modifying the recommended

report and decision of an administrative law judge, shall consult with the Public

Health Council. The suspension or revocation of a license shall be effected by a notice in writing

of the suspension or revocation, designating the effective date thereof, and in the

case of a suspension, the term of the suspension, which notice may be served upon

the licensee personally or by mailing the same by registered mail addressed to the

licensee at the licensee's home address. The commissioner shall file a copy of the notice of suspension or revocation of license

with the local board of health. 1
