(a) The Director of Public Service may suspend or revoke the permit of any permittee if the permittee or his or her agent fails to abide by the provisions of this chapter or if any required health license or county vendor or sales tax license has been suspended or revoked.
(b) The Director of Public Service shall give written notice of suspension or revocation of the permit to the permittee or his or her agent stating the reasons therefor. If the reason for the suspension or revocation is that a required health license has been suspended or revoked or that the permittee does not have a currently effective insurance policy as required by this chapter, the action shall be effective upon giving such notice to the permittee or to his or her agent. Otherwise, such notice shall contain the further provision that the action shall become final and effective ten days thereafter unless, within five days of receipt of the notice, the permittee requests a hearing before the Director of Public Service. The Director of Public Service, within five days after receipt of a request, shall hold the hearing, at which time the permittee shall be afforded the opportunity to give his or her version of the facts which gave rise to the Director of Public Service's action. The Director of Public Service shall determine whether to proceed with the action or to rescind it and shall so notify the permittee in writing within five days after the hearing.
(c) The action of the Director of Public Service may be appealed in accordance with the provisions of state law.
