Section 950.60  Denial, Suspension, or Revocation

a)         The Director may deny the application for grant funds or may suspend or revoke the grant agreement of a grantee when finding substantial or continued failure to comply with statute, this Part, another regulation, or the grant agreement. Except as provided in subsection (b), the Director must provide notice and an opportunity for a hearing to the party before executing the denial, suspension, or revocation.

b)         If the Director finds that the public interest, health, safety, or welfare requires emergency action, then the Director may immediately order summary suspension of a grant agreement pending proceedings for revocation.  The Director's order must be written and include the reasons for the public emergency.  These proceedings shall be promptly instituted and promptly determined.

c)         The notice of the denial, suspension, or revocation shall be made by certified mail or by personal service, state the particular reasons for the proposed action, and provide the opportunity to request a hearing.  If a written hearing request is not received within 10 days after receipt of the notice, then the right to a hearing is deemed to be waived.
