The department shall conduct a public hearing for each licensee who applies for a hardship exemption. The department shall give 10 days notice of the date, time, and location of the public hearing by publishing notice of the hearing in a newspaper located in or as near as possible to the ordinary place of business of the licensee requesting the exemption. Within 10 days after the public hearing, the department shall either grant or deny the application for the ground ambulance hardship exemption, stating the reasons for its decisions in writing and mailing the applicant a copy of those reasons.
Upon a showing of exceptional circumstances, the department may grant a nonrenewable temporary hardship exemption for not more than 90 days without a public hearing. The department may revoke a temporary hardship exemption before the expiration of 90 days by mailing to the person or entity that was granted the temporary hardship exemption written notice of revocation, a statement of the reasons for the revocation, and a notice of opportunity for hearing.
