Section 10:3-1.7 - Procedures, period of suspension and scope of suspension

(a) The procedures, period of suspension and scope of suspension are as follows:

1. The DHS may suspend a person or his affiliates, provided that within 10 days after the effective date of the suspension, the agency provides such party with a written notice stating that a suspension has been imposed and its effective date, setting forth the reasons for the suspension to the extent that the Attorney General determines that such reasons may be properly disclosed, stating that the suspension is for a temporary period pending the completion of an investigation and such legal proceedings as may ensue, and indicating that, if such legal proceedings are not commenced or the suspension removed within 60 days of the date of such notice, the party will be given either a statement of the reasons for the suspension and an opportunity for a hearing if he so requests, or a statement declining to give such reasons and setting forth the agency's position regarding the continuation of the suspension. Where a suspension by one agency has been the basis for suspension by the DHS, the DHS shall note that fact as a reason for its suspension.

2. A suspension may include all known affiliates of a person, provided that each decision to include an affiliate is made on a case by case basis after giving due regard to all relevant facts and circumstances. The offense, failure or inadequacy of performance of an individual may be imputed to a person with whom he is affiliated, where such conduct was accomplished within the course of his official duty or was effectuated by him with the knowledge or approval of such person.
