(a) If a representative designated by the director to enforce this article determines that a permittee has failed to comply with this article (except Section 15D-9.9) or a regulation established under this article, the representative may suspend the ambulance personnel permit for a period of time not to exceed three days by personally serving the permittee with a written notice of the suspension. The notice must include:
(1) the reason for suspension;
(2) the date the suspension begins;
(3) the duration of the suspension; and
(4) a statement informing the permittee of the right of appeal.
(b) A suspension under this section may be appealed to the director if the permittee requests an appeal at the time the representative serves notice of the suspension. When an appeal is requested, the suspension may not take effect until a hearing is provided by the director.
(c) The director may order an expedited hearing under this section, to be held as soon as possible after the permittee requests an appeal. The director may affirm, reverse, or modify the order of the representative. The decision of the director is final. (Ord. 21861)
