Whenever it shall be shown, or whenever the Board has knowledge, that any person to whom a permit has been issued under this chapter has violated any of the provisions of this chapter, or that any promoter, agent, professional solicitor or solicitor of a permit holder has misrepresented the purpose of the solicitation, the Board shall immediately suspend the permit and give the permit holder written notice by registered, special delivery, mail of a hearing to be held within two days of the suspension to determine whether or not the permit should be revoked. This notice must contain a statement of the facts upon which the Board has acted in suspending the permit. At the hearing, the permit holder, and any other interested person, may have the right to present evidence as to the facts upon which the Board based the suspension of the permit, and any other facts which may aid the Board in determining whether this chapter has been violated and whether the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented. If, after the hearing, the Board finds that this chapter has been violated, where the purpose of the solicitation has been misrepresented, it shall within two days after the hearing file in the Clerk's office for public inspection and serve upon the permit holder and all interested persons who participated in the hearing, a written statement of the facts from which it based the finding and immediately revoke the permit. If, after the hearing, the Board finds that this chapter has not been violated and the purpose of the solicitation has not been misrepresented, it shall within two days after the hearing, give to the permit holder a written statement cancelling the suspension of the permit and stating that no violation or misrepresentation was found to have been committed.
