114405
. (a) A permit may be suspended or revoked by a local
enforcement officer for a violation of this part. Any food facility
or cottage food operation for which the permit has been suspended
shall close and remain closed until the permit has been reinstated.
Any food facility or cottage food operation for which the permit has
been revoked shall close and remain closed until a new permit has
been issued.
(b) Whenever a local enforcement officer finds that a food
facility or cottage food operation is not in compliance with the
requirements of this part, a written notice to comply shall be issued
to the permitholder. If the permitholder fails to comply, the local
enforcement officer shall issue to the permitholder a notice setting
forth the acts or omissions with which the permitholder is charged,
and informing him or her of a right to a hearing, if requested, to
show cause why the permit should not be suspended or revoked. A
written request for a hearing shall be made by the permitholder
within 15 calendar days after receipt of the notice. A failure to
request a hearing within 15 calendar days after receipt of the notice
shall be deemed a waiver of the right to a hearing. When
circumstances warrant, the hearing officer may order a hearing at any
reasonable time within this 15-day period to expedite the permit
suspension or revocation process.
(c) The hearing shall be held within 15 calendar days of the
receipt of a request for a hearing. Upon written request of the
permitholder, the hearing officer may postpone any hearing date, if
circumstances warrant the action.
