§ 35-28-109 — Summary suspension of a license

(a) A regulatory authority may summarily suspend a license
to operate a public pool or spa if it determines through
inspection, water quality testing, records or other authorized
means, or after consultation with the state health officer, that
an imminent health hazard exists including, but not limited to,
fire, flood, extended interruption of electrical or water
service, sewage backup or waterborne illness or disease.
(b) The regulatory authority may summarily suspend a
license by providing written notice of the summary suspension to
the license holder or the person in charge without prior
warning, notice of a hearing or a hearing.
(c) The regulatory authority shall conduct an inspection
of the facility for which the license was summarily suspended
within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving notice from the
license holder stating that the conditions cited in the summary
suspension order no longer exist.
(d) A summary suspension shall remain in effect until the
conditions cited in the notice of suspension no longer exist and
their elimination has been confirmed by the regulatory authority
through reinspection and other means as appropriate. A suspended
license shall be reinstated immediately if the regulatory
authority determines that the imminent health hazard no longer
exists. A notice of reinstatement shall be provided to the
license holder or person in charge of the facility.
