						<section id="A"><p><span class="prefix-number">A.</span> The <span class="dictionary">Board</span> may summarily suspend or restrict a permit issued pursuant to &#xA7; <a class="law" title="Permit to operate pharmaceutical processor or cannabis dispensing facility" href="/4.1-1602/">4.1-1602</a> without a <span class="dictionary">hearing</span> if the <span class="dictionary">Board</span> finds that such suspension or restriction is necessary to prevent substantial danger to public health or safety. The <span class="dictionary">Board</span> shall make decisions to summarily suspend or restrict a permit only during an in-person meeting in which a quorum is present; however, if, after a good faith effort, the <span class="dictionary">Board</span> is unable to assemble a quorum and a majority of the <span class="dictionary">Board</span> members determine that continued operation by the permittee constitutes a substantial danger to public health or safety, the <span class="dictionary">Board</span> may summarily suspend the permit during a telephone, video, or other electronic conference. Institution of proceedings for a <span class="dictionary">hearing</span> shall be provided simultaneously with a summary suspension.

Such <span class="dictionary">hearing</span> or conference shall be held within a reasonable amount of time after the summary suspension or restriction is issued. <a id="paragraph-280723" class="section-permalink" href="https://vacode.org/4.1-1605/#A"><i class="fa fa-link"/></a></p></section>
