§ 14-12-15. Suspension or revocation of inspector's appointment or commission.

A.

An inspector's appointment or commission may be suspended by the director after due investigation and recommendation by the board of boiler rules, for the incompetence or untrustworthiness of the holder thereof or for willful falsification of any matter or statement contained in his or her application or in a report of any inspection made by him or her. Written notice of any such suspension shall be given by the board of boiler rules within not more than ten days, to the inspector and his or her employer. A person whose appointment or commission has been suspended shall be entitled to an appeal to the board as provided in section 14-12-21 and to be present in person or to be represented by counsel at the hearing of the appeal.

B.

If the board of boiler rules has reason to believe that a commissioned inspector is no longer qualified to hold his or her appointment or commission, the board shall, upon not less than ten days' written notice to the inspector and his or her employer, hold a hearing at which such inspector and his or her employer shall have an opportunity to be heard. If, as a result of such hearing, the board shall find that such inspector is no longer qualified to hold his or her appointment or commission, the board shall recommend to the director that such appointment or commission shall be revoked and the director shall thereupon revoke such appointment or commission forthwith.

C.

A person whose appointment or commission has been revoked shall be entitled to apply, after 90 days from the date of such revocation, for reinstatement of such appointment or commission.
