Section 144-224-C-3 - NOTICE OF VIOLATION

A. Before instituting any proceeding to suspend or revoke a license or to take other action for alleged violation of any provision of the Act or these rules or the requirements for registration, the Department will serve on the registrant a written notice of violation. The notice of violation will concisely state the alleged violation and will require that the registrant or any other person submit, within twenty (20) working days of the date of the notice or other specified time, a written (facsimile accepted) explanation or statement in reply including:

1. corrective steps which have been taken by the registrant or other person and the results achieved;

2. corrective steps which will be taken; and

3. the date when full compliance will be achieved.

B. When the Department finds that the public health, safety, or interest so requires, or that the violation is willful, the notice of violation may be omitted. If a notice of violation is served and the Department determines the response is unsatisfactory, or no response is made within the required time frame, the Department may escalate its enforcement action.
