§ 225.73. Issuance, Refusal, Suspension, Revocation, Compromise Settlement Agreements, and Automatic Cancellation of a BPA Permit.
(a) The department may issue or, for reasonable cause shown, refuse to issue a BPA permit, or may after notice and hearing, suspend or revoke the BPA permit for any violation or cause listed in Sections 225.09, 225.12, 225.15, 225.18, 225.24, 225.30, 225.33, 225.36, 225.39, 225.42, 225.48(a) and (b), 225.51, 225.54, 225.60, 225.63, 225.66(b) and (c), and 225.72 (a) and (b).
(b) The department may refuse to authorize an employee or applicant for employment of a first-line business partner, second-line business partner, or first-line service provider, or may after notice and hearing, suspend or revoke authorization for the employee to have access to the BPA program for any cause under Section 225.18.
(d) After the filing of an accusation or statement of issues under these regulations, the director of the Department of Motor Vehicles may enter into a compromise settlement agreement with a BPA permit holder on terms and conditions mutually agreeable to the director, the respondent permit holder, and the complainant, without further hearing or appeal. The compromise settlement agreement may include, but it is not limited to, a period of probation, monetary penalties, or both.
(g) If the respondent to a compromise settlement agreement fails to perform all of the terms and conditions of the compromise settlement agreement, the agreement between the parties is void and the department may take any action authorized by law, notwithstanding the agreement, including but not limited to, refiling the accusation or statement of issues or imposing discipline or sanctions.
(h) The department may, pending a hearing, temporarily suspend the permit issued to BPA permit holder for not more than 30 days if the director finds that action is required in the public interest. In that case, a hearing shall be held and a decision issued within 30 days after the notice of the temporary suspension.
(3) The voluntary or involuntarily surrender for any cause by the BPA permit holder, except that the surrender of the BPA permit, cessation of business by the BPA permit holder, or the suspension or revocation of the corporate status of the BPA permit holder, does not preclude the filing of an accusation for revocation or suspension of the surrendered BPA permit under Section 225.73, does not affect the department's decision to suspend or revoke the BPA permit. The department's determination to suspend or revoke the BPA permit may be considered in issuing or refusing to issue any subsequent BPA permit authorized by regulations to that BPA permit holder or to a business representative of that prior licensee.
