32.21 Suspension, revocation, or limitation of operating certificates
         and imposition of fines.
(a) The commissioner  may  revoke,  suspend,  or  limit  an  operating
  certificate  upon a determination that the holder of the certificate has
  failed to comply with the terms of its operating certificate or with the
  provisions of any applicable statute, rule, or regulation. The holder of
  the certificate shall be given notice and an  opportunity  to  be  heard
  prior to any such determination.
(b)  The  commissioner may impose a fine of up to one thousand dollars
  upon a finding that the holder of the certificate has failed  to  comply
  with  the  terms  of its operating certificate or with the provisions of
  any applicable statute, rule or regulations.
(c) The penalty provided for in subdivision (b) of this section may be
  recovered by an action brought by  the  commissioner  in  any  court  of
  competent jurisdiction.
(d)  Such  penalty  may be released or compromised by the commissioner
  before the matter has been referred to the attorney general,  and  where
  such  matter has been referred to the attorney general, any such penalty
  may be released or compromised and any action commenced to  recover  the
  same  may  be  settled  or discontinued by the attorney general with the
  consent of the commissioner.
(e) It shall be the duty of the attorney general upon the  request  of
  the commissioner to bring an action for an injunction against any person
  who  violates,  disobeys  or  disregards  any  term or provision of this
  chapter or of any lawful notice, order or regulation  pursuant  thereto;
  provided,  however,  that  the  commissioner  shall furnish the attorney
  general with such material,  evidentiary  matter  or  proof  as  may  be
  requested by the attorney general for the prosecution of such an action.
(f)  Pending  a  determination pursuant to the foregoing subdivisions,
  the commissioner may, upon written notice to the holder thereof, suspend
  an operating certificate for not more than thirty days if he or she  has
  reasonable  grounds  for  finding  that  the  continued operation of the
  facility presents an immediate danger to the health and welfare  of  the
  public or of any of the persons receiving the services.
(g)   The   commissioner   shall   promulgate  rules  and  regulations
  establishing procedures for the imposition  of  fines,  and  suspension,
  revocation or limitation of operating certificates.
