A hearing to determine whether a license should be revoked, suspended, limited or conditioned shall be initiated by filing a notice to show cause why such action should not be taken.
The notice shall be a written statement of charges, which shall set forth in ordinary and concise language the acts or omissions with which the respondent is charged, to the end that respondent will be able to prepare his or her defense. It shall specify the statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations which the respondent is alleged to have violated, but shall not consist merely of charges phrased in the language of such statutes, ordinances, rules or regulations.
If the agency issuing the notice concludes that the information in its possession is of a substantial nature and that the matter involves imminent danger to the health, safety and welfare of the people, it may issue with the notice to show cause an interim order regarding such license pending any hearing on the notice.
