22VAC45-20-30: Termination of licenses

A. Licenses issued to blind persons to operate vending facilities shall be issued for an indefinite period but shall be subject to suspension or termination if, after affording the vendor an opportunity for a full evidentiary hearing, the department finds that the vending facility is not being operated in accordance with its regulations, the terms and conditions of the permit, or the terms and conditions of the written agreement with the vendor.

B. Additionally, the license of an individual vendor for the operation of a vending facility on federal or other property may be suspended or terminated for any of the following reasons:

1. Improvement of vision so that the vendor no longer meets the definition of blind person;

2. Extended illness with medically documented diagnosis of prolonged incapacity of the vendor to operate the vending facility in a manner consistent with the needs of the location or other available locations in the vending facility program; or

3. Withdrawal of the vendor from the program upon his written notification to the department.
