KRS 243.520: Institution of revocation proceedings -- Notice -- Hearing --

Suspension under emergency order.

The department may, on its own initiative or on the complaint of any person, institute

administrative proceedings before the board to revoke or suspend any license. A

license may be revoked or suspended only after the licensee has been afforded the

opportunity for a hearing conducted in accordance with KRS Chapter 13B. The

department may issue an emergency order pursuant to KRS 13B.125 to summarily

suspend a license upon finding that continued operation of the license holder

pending a hearing would constitute a threat to the public health, safety, or welfare.
