(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.
