17. Suspension
17.1 Licenses issued under the provisions of the Code can be suspended temporarily by the Department for failure of the holder to comply with the requirements of this Code.
17.2 Whenever a license holder or operator has failed to comply with any notice issued under the provisions of this Code, the operator must be notified in writing that the license is, upon service of this notice, immediately suspended. The notice must also contain a statement informing the license holder or operator that an opportunity for a hearing will be provided if a written request for a hearing is filed with the Department within the time specified by law. 17.3 Any person whose license has been suspended can file an application for reinstatement of the license within 10 business days of notice of suspension by: 1. submitting a signed statement that the conditions causing the suspension have been corrected; 2. providing proof that the conditions have been corrected, including but not limited to photos, receipts, and written documentation; and 3. submitting the appropriate reinspection fees, after which the Department must reinspect the body art establishment and evaluate documentation provided by an operator. If the applicant is in compliance with the provisions of this Code, the license will be reinstated.
18. Revocation
18.1 For repeated violations or repeated critical violations of any of the requirements of this Code, or for interference with Department personnel in the performance of their duties, a license can be permanently revoked after a hearing. Before taking such action, the Department must notify the license holder or operator in person and hand-deliver a notice in writing stating the reasons why the license is subject to revocation and advising the license holder or operator of the requirements for filing a request for a hearing. 18.2 The Department can permanently revoke a license after five business days following service of the notice unless a request for a hearing is filed by the license holder to the Department.
18.3 The Department must conduct the hearings in accordance with all local laws and regulations.
