Sec. 144.064. DENIAL, SUSPENSION, OR REVOCATION OF LICENSE OR PERMIT; REINSTATEMENT
-
(a) The commissioner may deny, suspend, or revoke an operating license, construction permit, or renewal of an operating license or construction permit if the commissioner finds that:
(1) the license holder or permit holder has violated this chapter or a rule or order adopted under this chapter or did not exercise due care to prevent the violation; or
(2) a fact or condition exists that would have justified the denial of the license or permit application if the fact or condition was known at the time the original application was filed.
(b) On the discovery of such a violation, the commissioner shall notify the license holder or permit holder of the violation. If the license holder or permit holder fails to make the necessary corrections, the department shall notify the license holder or permit holder of a hearing to suspend or revoke the license or permit.
(c) The commissioner may reinstate a suspended license or permit, or may issue a new license or permit to a person whose license or permit has been revoked, if a ground to deny the original license or permit application does not exist.
