Ala. Admin. Code r. 582-X-4-.10
If the ASBM finds that danger to the public health, safety, or welfare requires emergency suspension of a license and states in writing its reasons for that finding, it may proceed without hearing or upon any abbreviated hearing that it finds practicable to suspend the license. The suspension shall become effective immediately, unless otherwise stated therein. The suspension may be effective for a period of not longer than 120 days and shall not be renewable. The ASBM shall not suspend the same license for the same or a substantially similar emergency within one calendar year from its first suspension unless the ASBM clearly established that it could not reasonably be foreseen during the initial 120-day period that such emergency would continue or would likely re-occur during the next nine months. When such summary suspension is ordered, a formal suspension or revocation shall be promptly instituted and acted upon.
