(b) If a commodity dealer or warehouseman violates any of the provisions of this chapter, that person's license and certificate of license may be removed from that person's premises by any department employee charged with the enforcement of this chapter and returned to the department. This removal shall constitute a suspension of the license, and the licensee may request a hearing before the commissioner within ten (10) days in accordance with the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. (c) If the department finds that a commodity dealer is licensed as a commodities warehouse under the United States Warehouse Act and does not satisfy the requirements of part 2 of this chapter, the commissioner shall suspend or revoke the dealer's license until such time as the commodities warehouse complies with the Tennessee Commodity Producer Indemnity Act, compiled in part 2 of this chapter. (d) If any court of competent jurisdiction issues any order restraining, overturning or modifying any order of the department that suspends or revokes a commodity dealer's or warehouseman's license, the department, its officers, employees and agents shall be held harmless from any liabilities or financial obligations arising out of the operations of the commodity dealer or warehouseman while operating under the court order.
