(a) The board may revoke the certificate of an operator when it is found that the operator has practiced fraud or deception; that reasonable care, judgment or the application of such operator's knowledge was not used in performance of such operator's duties; or that the operator is incompetent to properly perform such operator's duties. (b) When the commissioner believes an operator has engaged in any of the activities set forth in subsection (a), the commissioner may issue an order suspending the operator's certificate until the board conducts a hearing on the revocation of the operator's certificate for such activities.
