§ 6-278. Revocation of registration.

(a)

If, as a result of its own investigation or an investigation instituted at the request of a third party, the plumbing advisory board determines that:

(1)

Any holder of a registration issued by the board made a material misrepresentation of fact in the application for registration or renewal thereof;

(2)

The holder is incompetent to perform the duties permitted to be performed by the registration;

(3)

The holder has wilfully committed a second violation of any provision of the state or local codes of ordinances;

The board shall suspend the registration of such person for a period of time designated by the board or may revoke the registration of such individual.

(b)

Such determinations and actions shall be made and taken only after notice has been given to the holder of such registration at least ten (10) days prior to the hearing at which the determination and decision is made. The holder of the registration shall have a right to attend such meeting, be represented by counsel and present such evidence as may be relevant and material to the consideration of the board. Upon request by the holder of such registration the date established for such meeting shall be postponed not more than thirty (30) calendar days, provided that the registration shall be considered to be revoked during the requested extension of time. Such hearing shall be stenographically reported by a person authorized to take oaths in the state and the decision of the board, which must be handed down within five (5) days from the day of hearing, shall be final unless action is taken pursuant to the laws of the state to appeal such decision to any court of competent jurisdiction within thirty (30) days from the date of decision of the board.
