124.305 ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE.
1. Before denying, suspending or revoking a registration, or
refusing a renewal of registration, the board shall serve upon the
applicant or registrant an order to show cause why registration
should not be denied, revoked, or suspended, or why the renewal
should not be refused. The order to show cause shall contain a
statement of the basis therefor and shall call upon the applicant or
registrant to appear before the board at a time and place not less
than thirty days after the date of service of the order, but in the
case of a denial or renewal of registration the show cause order
shall be served not later than thirty days before the expiration of
the registration. These proceedings shall be conducted without
regard to any criminal prosecution or other proceeding. Proceedings
to refuse renewal of registration shall not abate the existing
registration which shall remain in effect pending the outcome of the
administrative hearing.
2. The board, without an order to show cause, may suspend any
registration simultaneously with the institution of proceedings under
section 124.304, or where renewal of registration is refused, if it
finds that there is an imminent danger to the public health or safety
which warrants this action. The suspension shall continue in effect
until the conclusion of the proceedings, including judicial review
thereof, under the provisions of the Iowa administrative procedure
Act, chapter 17A, unless sooner withdrawn by the board or dissolved
by the order of the district court or an appellate court. Section History: Early Form
