(1) Before denying, suspending, or
revoking a registration, or refusing a renewal of registration, the board or BHA shall
serve upon the applicant or registrant an order to show cause why registration
should not be denied, revoked, or suspended, or the renewal refused. The order
must state its grounds and direct the applicant or registrant to appear before the
board or BHA at a specified time and place not less than thirty days after the date
of service of the order. In case of a refusal to renew a registration, the order must
be served not later than thirty days before the expiration of the registration. These
proceedings must be conducted in accordance with section 24-4-105. The
proceedings do not preclude any criminal prosecution or other proceeding. A
proceeding to refuse to renew a registration does not affect the existing
registration, which remains in effect until completion of the proceeding.

(2) The board or BHA may suspend, without an order to show cause, any
registration simultaneously with the institution of proceedings under section 18-18-304, or where renewal of registration is refused, upon finding that there is an
imminent danger to the public health or safety that warrants this action. The
suspension continues in effect until the conclusion of the proceedings, including
judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the board or BHA or dissolved
by a court of competent jurisdiction.
