Sec.3-77-20. Matters involving licenses

(a) When the grant, denial or renewal of a license is required to be preceded by notice and opportunity for hearing, the provisions of these regulations concerning contested cases apply.

(b) No revocation, suspension, annulment or withdrawal of any license is lawful unless, prior to the institution of proceedings, the agency gave notice by mail to the licensee of facts or conduct which warrant the intended action, and the licensee was given an opportunity to show compliance with all lawful requirements for the retention of the license.

(c) If the Secretary of the State finds that public health, safety or welfare imperatively requires emergency action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in his order, summary suspension of a license may be ordered pending proceedings for revocation or other action. These proceedings shall be promptly instituted and determined.

(d) Any application for a license or renewal of license shall include, unless otherwise provided by statute or regulation promulgated by the office of the Secretary of the State: (1) the name and address of the applicant, and (2) any other information which the office of the Secretary of the State may require. Applications shall be addressed to the appropriate division of the office of the Secretary of the State and shall be sent by mail or delivered during normal business hours to him in such quantity as he may require.
