1. (a) If the executive director determines good cause exists to suspend or revoke a certificate of a site evaluator or designated representative, or a registration of an installer or apprentice, the executive director shall request that the commission schedule a hearing before the State Office of Administrative Hearings or the commission. Such hearing shall be held only after proper notice has been provided to the certificate holder or registrant. The commission may suspend or revoke the certificate or the registration if the commission finds that the certificate holder or registrant was responsible for violating the provisions of this chapter, for falsifying any information or documents submitted to the executive director, or for other good cause.
2. (b) A certificate or registration may be suspended for a period of up to one year, depending upon the seriousness of the offense(s). A certificate or registration is revoked automatically upon a second suspension. At the request of the certificate holder or registrant, or for other good cause shown, the certificate or registration may be suspended indefinitely by the commission.
3. (c) A certificate or registration may be permanently revoked by the commission, or may be revoked for a term designated by the commission. If the certificate or registration is revoked for a term designated by the commission, then the certificate holder or registrant may apply for a new certificate or registration, in accordance with §285.53 of this title (relating to Applications), upon the expiration of the term of revocation.
