The Director of Health may revoke a license for serious or repeated
violations of any of the requirements of this chapter or the Public
Health Code of the State of Connecticut or for interference with the
Director of Health or his authorized agent or agents in the performance
of their duties. Prior to revocation, the Director of Health shall
notify the license holder or person in charge of the food service
establishment, in writing, of the reasons for which the license is
subject to revocation. The notice shall state that the license shall
be revoked at the end of 14 days following the service of the notice,
unless a written request for a hearing is filed with the Director
of Health by the license holder within 48 business hours after the
notice is served. If such a request is filed, the Director of Health
shall hold a hearing to examine into the merits of the case within
seven days after the request is filed. At such hearing the license
holder shall be allowed to introduce evidence and cross-examine adverse
witnesses. At the end of such hearing, the Director of Health shall
vacate, affirm or modify such revocation. If the revocation is affirmed,
the effective date of revocation shall remain 14 days following service
of the original notice of revocation. If the revocation is modified,
the effective date of the revocation shall be 14 days from the date
of the modification order, and the Director of Health shall notify
the license holder of such new effective date at the end of said hearing.
