Latest version.
  • A.

    Revocation. The department may, in its discretion, revoke a permit if:

    1.

    Serious and repeated violations of any requirement of this chapter occur;

    2.

    A food establishment permit is suspended three times within any 12-month period and any inspection in the subsequent 12 months reveals repeated critical violations;

    3.

    Repeated interference with an inspector in the performance of their official duties; or

    4.

    Assault upon an inspector in the performance of their official duties.

    B.

    Notice of revocation. The department shall notify the operator of the pending revocation by providing written notice to the address provided on the permit application and by delivering a second copy of that notice to the operator at the permitted food establishment. The notice of pending revocation shall state:

    1.

    The permit shall be revoked on the 11th day following delivery of a revocation notice to the operator at the permitted food establishment, in the absence of a request for a hearing; and

    2.

    The reason(s) for the pending revocation.

    C.

    Application for permit following revocation. The holder of a revoked permit shall not be granted a new permit for at least six months after revocation, and then only if satisfactory evidence is provided to the department demonstrating the conditions causing the revocation were corrected.

    D.

    Posting of revocation. Upon revocation, the department may order a notice of revocation affixed to prominent locations at the food establishment. Removal of the notice by anyone other than the department is a violation of this chapter.
