(a) A license for health-related services under this article may be revoked, suspended, limited, annulled or denied by the commissioner, in consultation with the office of children and family services, if an authorized agency is determined to have failed to comply with the provisions of this article or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. No action taken against a license under this subdivision shall affect an authorized agency's license to care for or board children unless the commissioner of the office of children and family services determines, pursuant to the regulations of such office, that the existing circumstances make it necessary to limit, suspend or revoke the authority of the authorized agency to care for or board children.

(b) No such license shall be revoked, suspended, limited, annulled or denied without a hearing. However, a license may be temporarily suspended or limited without a hearing for a period not in excess of thirty days upon written notice that the continuation of health-related services places the public health or safety of the recipients in imminent danger.

(c) The commissioner shall fix a time and place for the hearing. A copy of the charges, together with the notice of the time and place of the hearing, shall be served in person or mailed by registered or certified mail to the authorized agency at least twenty-one days before the date fixed for the hearing. The authorized agency shall file with the department not less than eight days prior to the hearing, a written answer to the charges.

(d) All orders or determinations hereunder shall be subject to review as provided in article seventy-eight of the civil practice law and rules. Application for such review must be made within sixty days after service in person or by registered or certified mail of a copy of the order or determination upon the applicant or agency.
