North Carolina § 58-64-10 - Revocation of license.

§ 58-64-10. Revocation of license.

The license of a provider shall remain in effect until revoked after notice and hearing, upon written findings of fact by the Commissioner, that the provider has: Willfully violated any provision of this Article or of any rule or order of the Commissioner; Failed to file an annual disclosure statement or standard form of contract as required by this Article; Failed to deliver to prospective residents the disclosure statements required by this Article; Delivered to prospective residents a disclosure statement that makes an untrue statement or omits a material fact and the provider, at the time of the delivery of the disclosure statement, had actual knowledge of the misstatement or omission; Failed to comply with the terms of a cease and desist order; or Has been determined by the Commissioner to be in a hazardous financial condition. Findings of fact in support of revocation shall be accompanied by an explicit statement of the underlying facts supporting the findings. If the Commissioner has good cause to believe that the provider is guilty of a violation for which revocation could be ordered, the Commissioner may first issue a cease and desist order. If the cease and desist order is not or cannot be effective in remedying the violation, the Commissioner may, after notice and hearing, order that the license be revoked and surrendered. Such a cease and desist order may be appealed to the Superior Court of Wake County in the manner provided by G.S. 58-63-35. The provider shall accept no new applicant funds while the revocation order is under appeal. History (1989, c. 758, s. 1.)
