Administrative proceedings to suspend or revoke the approval of a veterinarian shall be commenced by the filing of a written complaint with the Board, setting forth the grounds for a suspension or revocation. Likewise, proceedings by a veterinarian challenging the refusal to grant his approval shall be commenced by filing a written complaint with the Board, setting forth the reasons why the refusal to grant his approval was unlawful. The case shall then be conducted in accordance with the procedures and guidelines set forth in Miss. Code of 1972, § 69-15-51 to 69-15-69, with the exception of the following provisions, which shall apply only in proceedings to suspend or revoke a veterinarian's approval or to compel the granting or renewal of his approval. In veterinarian approval cases, the reviewing officer, hearing committee and Board shall have the power and authority to suspend or revoke the veterinarian's approval or to compel the Board to grant a veterinarian's approval. A suspension may be in effect for a period not to exceed one year, after which the veterinarian's approved status will be automatically restored. Any time after the expiration of three years from the date of the revocation of his approval, the veterinarian may reapply for approval, at which time he must meet all the prerequisites for initial approval, and show that he has made full amends and restitution to all persons who may have suffered pecuniary loss by reason of the misconduct for which his approval was revoked. Also, no fines or civil penalties may be levied against a veterinarian in veterinarian approval cases.
