54-2608. REVOCATION OF CERTIFICATES OF COMPETENCY — SUSPENSION — REFUSAL TO RENEW. The administrator of the division of building safety shall have on the recommendation of the board the power to revoke, suspend or refuse to issue a renewal of any certificate of competency if the same was obtained through error or fraud, or if the holder thereof is shown to be grossly incompetent or has a second time violated any of the rules prescribed by the board, or as prescribed by this act. Before the administrator shall refuse to grant a renewal of said certificate to any applicant or shall revoke or suspend any certificate previously granted, he shall hold a hearing giving such applicant or holder of said certificate fifteen (15) days written notice of his intended action by registered mail directed to the applicant or holder at the address given on said certificate or in the application for said certificate, stating generally the basis for his intended action; and the applicant or holder of said certificate shall have the opportunity to produce testimony in his own behalf at a time and place specified in said notice. The proceedings shall be governed by the provisions of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code. If the administrator, after the hearing, shall refuse to grant a renewal of said certificate or shall suspend or revoke any certificate previously granted, said applicant or holder of a certificate may seek judicial review of the administrator’s final order in accordance with the provisions of chapter 52, title 67, Idaho Code. Any person whose certificate has been revoked may, after the expiration of one (1) year from the date of revocation, but not before, apply for a new certificate of competency.
