What is a Summary Suspension?
A. If the Board determines that a licensee poses an immediate and serious threat to the public health, safety or welfare, the Board may suspend or refuse to renew a license, pending a final hearing on the merits of the Statement of Allegations. The Board must provide a hearing on the necessity for summary action within seven days after the suspension. If the Board determines that a licensee poses a serious but not immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare, the Board may order the licensee to file opposing affidavits or other evidence within three (3) business days. Based upon the evidence before it, the Board may then suspend or refuse to renew the license, pending a final hearing on the merits of the Statement of Allegations. These hearings are conducted by Administrative Law judges at the Division of Administrative Law Appeals (DALA). Q.
