Any license issued for a massage establishment may be suspended or revoked for good cause. If the License Officer has reason to believe that good cause to suspend or revoke a license exists, he or she shall notify the licensee in writing at least ten days in advance that a hearing will be held and advising him or her of the specific charges made against him or her. The licensee may have an attorney present with him or her at the hearing. A certified shorthand reporter shall record the proceedings and prepare a transcript thereof, all at the expense of the licensee. The License Officer shall submit the record of the hearing along with his or her findings and recommendations to the County Board within ten days of the hearing. The County Board, by a majority of its members present, shall at the earliest convenient date decide whether or not to revoke or suspend the license and the length of suspension, and is not bound by the recommendation of the License Officer. Notice to the licensee of any suspension or revocation shall be in writing and shall state the reason or reasons therefor.
