Sec. 17.
(1) If the insurance coverage required under section 19, 21, or 23 is canceled for any reason, or if, after an audit, the department determines that a registrant's violation of this act poses a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare, the department shall issue an order summarily suspending the registration issued to that limousine carrier, taxicab carrier, or transportation network company, based on an affidavit by an individual who is familiar with the facts set forth in the affidavit, or, if appropriate, based on an affidavit made on information and belief that an imminent threat to the public health, safety, or welfare exists.
(2) A limousine carrier, taxicab carrier, or transportation network company whose registration is summarily suspended under this section may petition the department to dissolve the order. The department may grant or deny the petition without a hearing, or may immediately schedule a hearing to decide whether to grant or deny the petition.
(3) At a hearing described in subsection (2), an administrative law hearings examiner shall dissolve the summary suspension order unless sufficient evidence is presented that an imminent threat to the public health, safety, or welfare exists that requires emergency action and continuation of the department's summary suspension order.
