§ 4158 — Suspension or revocation of licenses

(a) Authorization.--The department is authorized to suspend or revoke the license of any licensed public weighmaster:

(1) when it is satisfied, after a hearing, upon ten days' notice to the licensee, that the licensee has violated any provision of this subchapter or of any valid regulation of the department affecting licensed public weighmasters; or

(2) when a licensed public weighmaster has been convicted in any court of competent jurisdiction of violating any provision of this subchapter or any regulation issued under authority of this subchapter.

(b) Petition for hearing de novo.--Any licensee whose license is suspended or revoked may, within 30 days after notice of the suspension or revocation, file a petition in the Commonwealth Court for a hearing de novo to determine whether the action of the department is lawful and reasonable. The court shall hear the petition and may make any appropriate order or decree.
