(1)If a general aviation fuel licensee or licensee under s. 78.09 or 78.47 violates any provision of this chapter and the department deems good cause exists for suspension or revocation by reason of such violation, the department may suspend such person’s license, or, after a hearing of the charges is held, it may revoke such license. The department may not suspend a license unless the department has notified the holder of the license of a hearing to be held on the charges, and the department may not revoke a license until after the department has notified the holder of the license of a hearing and has afforded the holder an opportunity to appear and testify. The department shall notify the licensee in writing of the time and place a hearing of the charges shall be held. The notice shall contain a statement of the alleged violation and shall be served upon the licensee at least 10 days prior to the hearing. At the time and place fixed in the notice, the department shall proceed to a hearing of the charges and shall afford the licensee an opportunity to present in person or by counsel statements, testimony, evidence, and argument pertinent to the charges or to any defense thereto. The department may continue the hearing from time to time but not more than 60 days. After the hearing, the department shall rescind the order of suspension, if any, and for good cause shown shall either suspend the license for a period of time or revoke the license.

(3)Upon the suspension or revocation of any license, the department shall request the holder thereof to surrender to it immediately all copies of licenses issued to the holder, and the holder shall surrender promptly all such copies to the department.
