§ 270-230. GROUNDS FOR IMMEDIATE REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION

(a)

The County may take any disciplinary action set forth in Sections 270-220(a). The County has reason to believe that a permitted service has violated any Section of this Chapter, or any applicable State statute, regulation or code.

(b)

Written notice will be furnished to the permittee specifying the reasons for the proposed disciplinary action and informing the permittee of her/his right to file an appeal with the County as required by Section 270-210 except that such hearing may not be requested if the permit is revoked for the reasons stated in Section 270-220(b).

(c)

A Notice of Revocation or Suspension issued in accordance with Section 270-240(c) may state that the effective date of the revocation or suspension is:

(1)

Immediate if the County has determined through investigation that such suspension or revocation is in the best interests of the public or; stayed pending formal appeal and review of the proposed action.

(d)

Any emergency ambulance or medical transport service that is served a disciplinary action, other than under Section 270-240, has ten working days from the date of the notice to appeal that action in writing to the County. Upon receipt of the appeal, the County shall conduct an appeal hearing. In case of immediate suspension or revocation, the decision of the County is final. Failure to request an appeal according to the time period prescribed in this Section shall be deemed to be an admission that the suspension or revocation order is well founded and precludes administrative or judicial review.
