Section 44-17-107 - Revocation or suspension of dealer's license - Grounds - Hearing - Appeal(a) The license of any dealer may be suspended or revoked by the commissioner for any of the following reasons: (1) The incompetence or untrustworthiness of the licensee;(2) Willful falsification of any information contained in the application;(3) The conviction of the licensee or any responsible officer of the licensee of cruelty to animals or a violation of this part; or(4) The nonconformance by the licensee to this part or the rules and regulations of the commissioner.(b) If the commissioner has reason to believe that the license of any dealer should be suspended or revoked for any of the above reasons, the commissioner shall give the dealer ten (10) days' written notice of the commissioner's intention to suspend or revoke the license of the dealer and shall give the dealer an opportunity for a hearing on the issue. The dealer may produce evidence to show cause why the license should not be revoked or suspended. If the commissioner determines that conditions exist that warrant the suspension or revocation of the license, the commissioner may suspend the license for such period of time as the commissioner may specify or may revoke it, and where appropriate, may make an order that the dealer cease and desist from continuing any violation found to have been made of this part. If the license is suspended, the dealer may apply, after ninety (90) days, for reinstatement of the license.(c) Any dealer aggrieved by a final order of the commissioner issued under this section may, within sixty (60) days after entry of such an order, have the order reviewed upon petition of certiorari in the chancery or circuit court of the county in which the dealer's residence or place of business is located.Acts 1967, ch. 332, § 7; T.C.A., § 44-110.
