§ 10.80.825. Summary suspension to protect public health, safety, or welfare.

A.

If the municipal clerk finds that a person holding a marijuana establishment license has acted and appears to be continuing to act in a way that constitutes an immediate threat to the public health, safety or welfare, the municipal clerk may issue an order immediately suspending the license of that person, and ordering an immediate stop to the activity that constitutes the threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.

B.

When the municipal clerk issues a summary suspension under this section, the municipal clerk shall immediately give the marijuana establishment subject to the summary suspension order notice of the reasons for the summary suspension, and of the time and place for an expedited hearing before the Administrative Hearings Officer. Unless the marijuana establishment subject to the summary suspension order requests a delay, the hearing will be held not later than five days after the municipal clerk gives notice of the reasons for the summary suspension and the scheduled hearing.
