45:15-17.1. Temporary suspension of license
23. The commission may, on its own motion, enter an order temporarily suspending the license of any licensee upon making a finding that prima facie evidence exists that the licensee has violated subsection d. or subsection o. of R.S.45:15-17. At least 24 hours prior to entering the order, the commission shall give notice to the licensee of the application for the order and shall provide the licensee with an opportunity to be heard. The notice may be given either by telephone or in writing and may be served personally or sent by certified mail to the last known business address of the licensee.
When the commission orders the temporary suspension of a license, it shall advise the licensee of the date upon which the commission shall hold an evidentiary hearing on the violations upon which the temporary suspension is based, which date shall be no more than 30 days following the date of the order entering the temporary suspension.
