(a) A regulatory authority may summarily suspend a license to operate a food establishment if it determines through consultation with a health officer, inspection, examination of food, employees, records or other authorized means that an imminent health hazard exists including, but not limited to, fire, flood, extended interruption of electrical or water service, or sewage backup.
(b) The regulatory authority may summarily suspend a person's license by providing written notice of the summary suspension to the license holder or person in charge, without prior warning, notice of a hearing or a hearing.
(c) The regulatory authority shall conduct an inspection of the establishment or food processing plant for which the license was summarily suspended within forty-eight (48) hours after receiving notice from the license holder stating that the conditions cited in the summary suspension order no longer exist.
(d) A summary suspension shall remain in effect until the conditions cited in the notice of suspension no longer exist and the elimination of the conditions has been confirmed by the regulatory authority through inspection or other means as appropriate. A suspended license shall be reinstated immediately if the regulatory authority determines that the imminent health hazard no longer exists. A notice of reinstatement shall be provided to the license holder or person in charge of the establishment.
