Section 21a-38 - (Formerly Sec. 19-193e). Suspension or revocation of license(a) The commissioner may suspend or revoke any license issued under the provisions of section 21a-35 or 21a-36 for violation of the provisions of sections 21a-34 to 21a-45, inclusive, or any regulation adopted thereunder or for violation of any applicable municipal health ordinance or state or federal law or regulation. No such suspension or revocation shall take effect except upon notice to the licensee and hearing thereon. Notice shall be in writing, given by registered or certified mail, and shall state: (1) The condition or violation found; (2) the corrective action, if any, to be taken and the period of time within which such action must be taken; and (3) that an opportunity for hearing will be provided upon written request filed within ten days after receipt of such notice.(b) Whenever the commissioner finds any grossly unsanitary condition or any other condition which constitutes a substantial hazard to public health or safety involving the preparation or transportation of any food or beverage or the use of any vending machine he may, without notice or hearing, issue a written order to the licensee citing the existence of such condition and specifying the corrective action to be taken, and, if he deems it necessary, require that use of such facility or machine be discontinued. Any licensee to whom such order is issued may petition for a hearing, which shall be granted, but no such petition shall stay the execution or effectiveness of any order pending hearing. Each such order shall continue in effect until it is rescinded by the commissioner or until the condition cited is corrected.(c) The commissioner shall cause a seal or a tag or appropriate marking prohibiting its use to be placed upon every vending machine supplied by a person whose operator's license has been suspended or revoked and upon every vending machine the use of which is so prohibited.Conn.
