Virginia law § 46.2-2011.26 outlines the procedures for suspending, revoking, or refusing to renew licenses, permits, or certificates. It mandates that licensees receive written notice of complaints and be given an opportunity for a hearing before any action is taken, with specific rules for notices and timelines. The law also details how and when these actions become effective and the rights of licensees to request hearings.
You are entitled to receive written notice of the complaint and grounds for suspension or revocation, and you have the right to request an administrative hearing within 30 days.
You have 30 days from the date of the notice to request a hearing. If you do not request within this period, the order becomes effective without a hearing.
The notice is mailed by registered or certified mail to the address on record, and it is considered served when mailed.
Yes, licensees can request a hearing within the specified time frame to challenge the suspension, revocation, or renewal refusal, and the hearing will determine whether the action should stand.
