Chapter 111C: Section 10. Revocation, refusal to renew or suspension of certificate of inspection or license for violations.

Section 10. The department may, after hearing or waiver thereof, revoke or refuse to renew a certificate of inspection or license for failure to perform such requirements as set forth in such certificate or license, for violation of any applicable requirement prescribed under this chapter, for violation of a correction order, or for engaging in, or for aiding, abetting, causing, or permitting, any act prohibited under this chapter. The commissioner may, without hearing, suspend a certificate of inspection or license if he finds that the licensee concerned is operating or maintaining the ambulance subject to such certificate, or is maintaining the ambulance service subject to such license, in a manner which endangers the public health or safety; provided, however, that in every case of suspension the licensee shall be promptly afforded an opportunity for a hearing under this section. If after any hearing hereunder concerning a license, the department determines that cause exists, instead of revoking or refusing to renew such license, the department may issue an order modifying the license if it finds that the public interest would be better served by such action. No certificate of inspection under a licensee shall continue in force after the department has revoked or refused to renew such license.
