CODE OF VIRGINIA

SUMMARY SUSPENSION OF LICENSES OR APPROVALS; ALLEGATIONS TO BE IN WRITING (§
54.1-516.1)

The Board may suspend the license or the approval of any (i) accredited training
program, (ii) training manager or (iii) principal instructor of any person
holding a license issued by it without a hearing simultaneously with the
institution of proceedings for a hearing or an informal fact finding conference,
if the relevant board finds that there is a substantial danger to the public
health or safety that warrants this action. The Board may meet by telephone
conference call when summarily suspending a license or the approval of an
accredited training program, training manager or principal instructor if a good
faith effort to assemble a quorum of the Board has failed and, in the judgment
of a majority of the members of the Board, the continued practice by the
licensee or approved individual or training program constitutes a substantial
danger to the public health or safety. Institution of proceedings for a hearing
or an informal fact finding conference shall be provided simultaneously with the
summary suspension. Such hearing or conference shall be scheduled within a
reasonable time of the date of the summary suspension. Allegations of violations
of this section shall be made in accordance with § 54.1-307.1.
