§ 50-31-05 — Issuance, suspension, and revocation of license

1. The department may issue licenses to operate substance use disorder treatment
programs, for a period of three years, which are found to comply with the provisions of
this chapter and rules adopted by the department.
2. The department may suspend or revoke a license if a program violates any of the rules
adopted by the department.
3. Before a license may be suspended or revoked, written notice by registered mail,
personal delivery, or electronic mail must be given to the licenseholder. The
licenseholder must be furnished with a copy of the notice by registered mail or
personal delivery. If a license is revoked, a new application for a license may be
considered by the department when the conditions upon which the revocation were
based have been corrected and evidence of this fact has been satisfactorily furnished.
A new license may then be granted after proper inspection has been made and the
applicant has complied with all rules adopted by the department. Within thirty days
after service of the written charges, the applicant or licensee may submit to the

department a written request for an administrative hearing as provided in chapter
28-32.
