Section 54-817 - HEARINGS.

54-817. Hearings. No refusal to renew, or the suspension or revocation of, a permit or license shall be made until the person affected has been given an opportunity to be heard on charges preferred in accordance with the provisions of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code. Such charges shall be in writing, and shall be sworn to by the person making them, and shall be filed with the board.

All charges, unless dismissed as unfounded or trivial, shall be heard within four (4) months after the date on which they are received by the board.

All charges shall be heard by the board at such time and place as it shall fix, and a copy of the charges, together with a notice of the time and place of hearing, shall be personally served on, or sent by registered mail to the last known address of such licensee or permittee at least twenty (20) days before the date set for the hearing. At any hearing the accused licensee or permittee shall have the right to appear personally or by counsel and to call witnesses in his own defense.

The board may subpoena witnesses and compel their attendance, and also may require the production of books, papers, documents, etc., in a case involving the revocation or suspension of a license, permit or the practicing or offering to practice without a license, or permit. If any person shall refuse to obey any subpoena so issued, or shall refuse to testify or produce any books, papers, or documents, the board may present its petition to the district judge of the district in which the witness may be found, setting forth the proceedings theretofore taken and briefly stating the subject matter upon which the testimony of the witness is required; thereupon such district judge may cause an order to be issued requiring such witness to appear before the board to testify and to produce such books, papers, and other documents as directed in the subpoena. Any person failing or refusing to obey such order shall be punished as for contempt of court.
