§ 50.07 SUSPENSION OF LICENSE.

   (A)   Failure to comply with the provisions of this chapter shall be grounds for suspension by the Director of any license issued hereunder, in addition to any other penalty which may be imposed by law.

   (B)   The Director may suspend a license as follows:

      (1)   For the first violation of § 50.06(D) or § 50.12(C), not less than ten nor more than 30 days; and for any subsequent violation thereof, not less than 30 nor more than 90 days;

      (2)   For the first violation of § 50.05(C) or § 50.12, not less than 30 nor more than 90 days; and for any subsequent violation thereof, not less than 90 nor more than 120 days; and

      (3)   For the first violation of § 50.05(E), § 50.11(A) or § 50.11(C), not less than 30 nor more than 120 days; and for any subsequent violation thereof, not less than 90 nor more than 180 days.

   (C)   When a license hae been suspended hereunder four or more times, the Director may thereafter suspend the license for a period of not less than 180 days, nor more than one year, or, in the Director’s sole discretion, may initiate revocation proceedings under § 50.08 hereof.

   (D)   A suspension shall become effective ten days from the date a written notice of suspension is sent to the licensee by the Director, unless the licensee, within the ten-day period, files a written request for review with the First Selectman. The notice of suspension shall be served on the licensee by certified or registered mail, or by delivering a copy thereof to the licensee’s place of business. The notice shall include a summary of the facts or conduct which forms the basis for the Director’s action and shall apprise the licensee of the right to file a request for review.

   (E)   The request for review shall operate as an automatic stay of the suspension, pending action by the Board of Review as hereinafter provided; provided, however, that if the Director makes a written determination that a stay will constitute danger to the public health, safety or welfare, he or she shall send the solid waste collector a copy of the determination by certified or registered mail and the suspension shall thereupon become immediately effective.

   (F)   Within ten days from the notice of suspension, the First Selectman shall designate a Board of Review consisting of the Board of Selectmen and two town residents appointed by the Board of Selectmen. Within 15 days after being so constituted, the Board of Review shall make its decision to confirm or vacate the suspension, after giving the solid waste collector a full and fair opportunity to be heard, including the right to be represented by counsel and the right to present relevant evidence. The decision of the Board of Review shall be final.
