or its Health Officer, pending a hearing to be granted the holder
thereof, pursuant to a notice to show cause to the Board why the license,
permit or certificate should not be suspended further or revoked.

[1972 Code § 213.003]

any provision of this Code or any regulation of the Department of
Health of New Jersey specifically applicable to the subject matter
for or upon which the license, permit or certificate was issued.
b.
Before any license, permit or certificate may be revoked, the holder
thereof shall be given a hearing and an opportunity to be heard on
the complaint made or violation(s) charged against him.

The time and place for such hearing shall be fixed at the discretion
of the Board; provided, however, that an unreasonable time shall not
be permitted to elapse between the date of any suspension of license

the hearings shall not be entitled to any further hearing and in that
event his license, permit or certificate may, as a matter of course,
be forthwith revoked.
