Sec.19a-36-A49. Denial, suspension or revocation of registration

(a) Registration of a center shall be denied, revoked, suspended, limited, or renewal thereof denied for knowingly:

(1) making false statements of material information on an application for registration or renewal thereof or any other documents required by the department;

(2) permitting unauthorized persons to perform any medical or technical procedure such as but not necessarily limited to: plasmapheresis, phlebotomies, and medical history interviews;

(3) demonstrating incompetence in the performance of any procedure;

(4) performing a procedure for which registration has not been granted;

(5) lending the use of the name of the registered center or its personnel to an unregistered center;

(6) operating a program of mobile or permanently fixed collection stations without prior written approval from the department; and

(7) operating the center in a manner which is deemed prejudicial to the public health.

(b) At the discretion of the commissioner of health, the registrant may be directed by written notice to appear not less than ten days after receipt of such notice at a hearing before said commissioner or his agent to show cause why registration should not be denied, suspended, or revoked. When in the judgment of the commissioner of health, conditions so warrant, suspension of the registration may be invoked without prior hearing if the continued operation is prejudicial to the public health. Revocation of a suspended registration will become effective within thirty days after suspension unless otherwise ordered by the commissioner of health. Prior to revocation, the registrant may request a hearing before the commissioner of health or his agent to petition for reconsideration stating upon what grounds such petition is based.
