A. A license or permit, obtained pursuant to Section 2-323 or 2-324 of this title, shall be annulled, suspended, or revoked by the Director upon finding that the licensee or permit holder has:
1. Materially falsified any application filed pursuant to Section 2-321 et seq. of this title or required by the Precursor Substances Act;

3. Failed to maintain effective controls against the diversion of the precursors to unauthorized persons or entities.
B. Before annulling, suspending, or revoking a license or permit, the Director shall cause to be served upon the licensee or permit holder an order to show cause why a license or a permit should not be annulled, suspended, or revoked. The order to show cause shall contain a statement of the basis therefor and shall call upon the licensee or permit holder to appear before the appropriate person or agency at the time and place within sixty (60) days after the date of service of the order. The proceedings shall be conducted in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Act1 without regard to any criminal prosecution or other proceeding. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to require an individual proceeding for the denial of a new license or permit.
C. The Director shall suspend, without an order to show cause, any license or permit simultaneously with the institution of proceedings described in subsection B of this section if the Director finds there is imminent danger to the public health or safety which warrants this action. The suspension shall continue in effect until the conclusion of the proceedings, including judicial review thereof, unless withdrawn by the Director or dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
