§16-2D-12. Denial or revocation of license for operating without certificate.
Any person acquiring, offering or developing any new institutional health service for which a certificate of need is required under this article without first obtaining a certificate of need therefor as herein provided, or who violates any of the provisions of this article is subject to denial or revocation of a license, in whole or in part, to operate such institutional health service or facility. Upon a showing to the state agency that any person is offering or developing any new institutional health service within the meaning of this article without having first obtained a certificate of need therefor as provided herein or that such person is otherwise in violation of the provisions of this article, the state agency shall provide such person with written notice which notice shall state the nature of the violation and the time and place at which such person shall appear to show good cause why its license should not be revoked or denied, at which time and place such person shall be afforded a reasonable opportunity to present testimony and other evidence in support of its position. If, thereafter, the state agency determines that such person's license to operate such institutional health service or facility should be revoked or denied, the state agency shall issue an order, in writing, to the appropriate responsible licensing agency of the state, requiring that such person's license to operate such institutional health service or facility be revoked or denied, which order shall be binding upon such licensing agency.
