2006 Alabama Code - Section 34-26-47 — Notice and hearing required prior to refusal, revocation or suspension.

The board may not recommend suspension or revocation of licensure or refuse to issue or to renew any certificate for any cause listed in Section 34-26-46 unless the person accused has been given at least 20 days' notice in writing of the charge against him and a public hearing by the board. The written notice shall be mailed to the person's last known address, but the nonappearance of the person shall not prevent such a hearing. Upon such a hearing the board may administer oath and procure by its subpoenas the attendance of witness and the production of relevant books and papers.
