Sec.10a-22k-9. Revocation and emergency action

(a) The commissioner may revoke a certificate of authorization issued to a school if such school:

(1) ceases to meet the conditions of authorization;

(2) has committed a material or substantial violation of any provisions of sections 10a-22a through 10a-22k, inclusive, or sections 10a-22u through 10a-22x, inclusive, of the general statutes, as amended, or of regulations promulgated thereunder;

(3) has made false statement about a material fact on its application; or

(4) fails to make required payment to the private occupational school student protection account pursuant to section 10a-22u of the general statutes, as amended.

(b) The commissioner shall serve written notice upon such school indicating that revocation of authorization is under consideration.

Upon receipt of such notice with the reasons set forth for the consideration of revocation of authorization, a school may file within seven days a written request for administrative review by the commissioner or his designee. Within twenty-one days after the receipt of such request, the commissioner or his designee shall begin an administrative review and shall complete the review within twenty-one days after beginning such review. Within twenty-one days after the completion of such review, the commissioner or his designee shall give written notice of the conclusions of the review to the school. A school aggrieved by the decision of the commissioner or his designee may, within fourteen days following its receipt of official notice of the completion and conclusions of such administrative review, appeal, in writing setting forth the reasons thereof, to the board. The board shall hold a hearing within twenty business days following receipt of such appeal to be conducted pursuant to chapter 54 of the general statutes. The chairperson of the board may designate a hearing officer or subcommittee to serve as a hearing panel pursuant to section 4-176e of the general statutes.

(c) If the commissioner finds that the public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in his order, summary suspension of authorization may be ordered, pursuant to section 4-182 of the general statutes, pending proceedings for revocation or other action. Such proceedings shall be promptly instituted and determined.

(d) The board may seek to prevent or remedy any violation of these regulations through the use of an injunction pursuant to chapter 916 of the general statutes.
