Permit holders can be subject to immediate suspension and hearings to contest actions. The law ensures compliance and proper operation of emissions inspection facilities.
Permits can be suspended or revoked if the station is not operated according to laws and regulations, or if the permit holder fails to submit required records or documentation.
Yes, the permit holder can request a hearing within ten days of suspension to contest, modify, or cancel the suspension.
No, the Director can suspend a permit without a hearing after notice, but a hearing will be scheduled within ten days to review the suspension.
