§ 45-23-25 - Suspension or revocation of inspector's license

(1) An inspector's license may be suspended by the chief inspector, after due investigation and approval by the board, for the incompetence or untrustworthiness of the holder thereof or for willful falsification of any matter or statement contained in his application or in a report of any inspection made by him. Written notice of any such suspension shall be given by the chief inspector within not more than ten (10) days thereof to the inspector and his employer.

A person whose license has been suspended shall be entitled to an appeal to the board, as provided in Section 45-23-57, and to be present in person or to be represented by counsel at the hearing of the appeal.

(2) If the board has reason to believe that a licensed inspector is no longer qualified to hold his license, the board shall, upon not less than ten (10) days' written notice to the inspector and his employer, hold a hearing at which such inspector and his employer shall have an opportunity to be heard. If, as a result of such hearing, the board shall find that such inspector is no longer qualified to hold his license, the board shall instruct the chief inspector that such license shall be revoked and the chief inspector shall thereupon revoke such license forthwith.

(3) A person whose license has been suspended shall be entitled to apply, after ninety (90) days from the date of such suspension for reinstatement of such license.
