§ 22-80. Revocation or suspension.

Upon receipt of a sworn complaint of an interested party, or as a result of an investigation by the department of planning and development, the board of county commissioners or its administrative staff, the board may conduct hearings on the question of whether state or local licenses shall be suspended or revoked as set forth in this section:

(1)

Notice of hearing. Hearings shall be held only upon notice to the holder of the certificate of competency or license sought to be acted upon. Notice as used in this section shall be defined as not less than 15 days' notice, prior to the hearing, by certified mail to the last known address of the holder of the certificate of competency or license sought to be suspended or revoked.

(2)

Demeanor of hearing. The severity of any suspension or revocation of a certificate of competency shall bear a reasonable relationship to the gravity of the offense.

(3)

Grounds for discipline. After such hearing, the county construction industry licensing board may suspend, revoke, or deny the issuance or renewal of the certificate of competency or license of any contractor, or otherwise discipline by reprimand or censure a contractor for violating the requirements or provisions of section 22-82.
