815.1 Upon a finding that a certified business enterprise (“CBE”) or certified joint venture engaged in conduct in violation of Section 2363(a)(2) or (3) of the Act (D.C. Official Code § 2-218.63(a)(2) or (3)), the Department may issue an intent to revoke the certificate of registration for the CBE or certified joint venture under procedures set forth in Section 2363 of the Act.

815.2 In considering whether the certificate of registration should be revoked, in addition to any other consideration, the Department shall consider whether any member of the CBE or certified joint venture has been charged or convicted of a crime that bears directly on the fitness of the CBE or certified joint venture to participate in programs established pursuant to the Act and these regulations. The Department’s findings related to offenses bearing on fitness for a CBE licensure are sufficient for a revocation without the disposition of a conviction.

815.3 Upon revocation, the Department shall not accept, or evaluate for a period of twelve (12) months from the date the CBE and certified joint venture receives notice of the decision to revoke:

1. (a) Amendments to or new information on the revoked certification; or
2. (b) A new certification application from the CBE and certified joint venture, their agent(s), representative(s), or other members of the public on their behalf.
