11910
. The director may refuse to issue a certificate to any pest
control aircraft pilot and may revoke or suspend the certificate of
any such pilot, after a hearing, upon finding that the pilot is not
qualified to conduct the pest control operations in accordance with
the certificate, or that the pilot does not hold an appropriate and
valid commercial pilot's certificate and a current appropriate
medical certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, or
that the pilot has violated any provision of this division or
Division 7 (commencing with Section 12501) pertaining to pesticides
or any regulation adopted pursuant to these provisions or any
regulation of an agricultural commissioner or any industrial safety
order of the Department of Industrial Relations or has not complied
with any order of the director or commissioner as authorized by
Section 11737.
The director may, pending a hearing, suspend or condition the
certificate of any pest control aircraft pilot when, upon an
investigation that the director determines to be necessary and upon
the receipt of affidavits by the enforcement personnel provided in
Section 11501.5 or injured parties, the director finds that
continuance of the certificate endangers public welfare or safety.
The director may terminate the suspension or condition upon the
taking of corrective action that the director determines to be
satisfactory to assure qualification or compliance with the law or
regulations. In that event, the matter may proceed to hearing as
though that action had not been taken.
