§ 6-8. Emergency suspensions.

(1)

If the building official finds that immediate serious danger to the public health, safety, or welfare requires emergency action, the building official shall enter an emergency order summarily suspending, limiting, or restricting a license, or taking such other emergency action as is authorized by law. Any decision to take emergency action by the building official shall be reviewed by the board of examiners at a meeting to be held within thirty (30) days of issuance of the order. The order of the building official shall provide notification of the time and date of the meeting at which the board of examiners will review the emergency order. The board of examiners shall have the authority to continue the order, modify the order, or terminate the order.

(2)

After action by the board of examiners which continues an emergency order, the board's order shall include a notice of the licensee's (or person or entity subject to the board's jurisdiction) right to an immediate appeal of the emergency final order to Circuit Court.

(3)

In the case of the emergency suspension, limitation, or restriction of a license, within thirty (30) days after the board of examiner's order continuing such emergency action, the building official shall initiate disciplinary proceedings, in compliance with this Code or such order shall expire.
