What is required when terminating or suspending a license?

• A. Immediate action without notice.
• B. Public vote by stakeholders.
• C. Due process (notice and opportunity to be heard) and evidence-supported grounds.
• D. Listening session only, no hearing.

Answer: (C)

When a license can be terminated or suspended, the action must follow due process: the affected person gets notice of the proposed action and the grounds, plus an opportunity to be heard. The decision must be based on evidence that supports those grounds, not on arbitrary claims. This process lets the licensee present arguments, submit evidence, and challenge the evidence against them, ensuring the outcome is fair and grounded in facts. Immediate action without notice isn’t allowed except in true emergencies, a public vote by stakeholders isn’t how these decisions are made, and a listening session without a hearing doesn’t provide the formal opportunity to present evidence and address the grounds.
