(b) Whenever the Department shall find cause to deny an application for certification, or to suspend or revoke a certification, it shall notify the applicant or certification holder of the reasons therefor, in writing, and shall provide an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, N.J.S.A. 52:14B-1 et seq., and the Uniform Administrative Procedure Rules, N.J.A.C. 1:1, when a request for a hearing is filed within 15 days of the date of notice.
(c) Denial of, suspension of, imposition of conditions upon, revocation of, or refusal to renew a certification shall not limit the Department from pursuing against the applicant or certificate holder any other lawful remedy available to the Department.
(d) A business firm whose certification has been revoked shall be ineligible to apply for certification for three years from the date of revocation. This ineligibility shall extend to any other business firm having any proprietor, officer, director, general partner, or shareholder or limited partner with at least a 10 percent interest in common with the business firm whose certification was revoked.
(e) Pursuant to Section 24 of P.L. 1993, c.288, the Department of Community Affairs will delegate to the Department of Labor, through a Memorandum of Understanding to be entered into between the Departments, enforcement authority over business firms performing lead hazard abatement in buildings or structures that do not contain dwelling units. Interfering with the Department of Labor in the exercise of its enforcement authority under this agreement or failing to comply with any order issued by the Department of Labor under this agreement shall be deemed to be grounds for denial, suspension, imposition of conditions upon or revocation of certification as described in (a) above.
