(1)
The division shall, after complaint, notice and hearing, following the procedure in s. 217.19 so far as applicable, revoke any license in the following cases:
(a)
If the licensee has failed to pay any examination cost, the license fees or to file a bond or deposit securities in lieu of a bond;
(b)
If the licensee has violated this chapter or any valid order issued hereunder;
(c)
If any fact or condition exists which, if it had existed at the time of the original application for such license, clearly would have warranted the division to refuse to issue such license.
(1m)
The division shall restrict or suspend any license issued under this chapter to an individual, if the individual fails to comply, after appropriate notice, with a subpoena or warrant issued by the department of children and families or a county child support agency under s. 59.53 (5) and related to paternity or child support proceedings or is delinquent in making court-ordered payments of child or family support, maintenance, birth expenses, medical expenses or other expenses related to the support of a child or former spouse, as provided in a memorandum of understanding entered into under s. 49.857. A licensee whose license is restricted or suspended under this subsection is entitled to a notice and hearing only as provided in a memorandum of understanding entered into under s. 49.857 and is not entitled to any other notice or hearing under this chapter.
(1r)
The division shall revoke any license issued under this chapter if the department of revenue certifies under s. 73.0301 that the licensee is liable for delinquent taxes. A licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection for delinquent taxes is entitled to a notice under s. 73.0301 (2) (b) 1. b. and hearing under s. 73.0301 (5) (a) but is not entitled to any other notice or hearing under this chapter.
(1t)
The division shall revoke any license issued under this chapter if the department of workforce development certifies under s. 108.227 that the licensee is liable for delinquent unemployment insurance contributions. A licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection for delinquent unemployment insurance contributions is entitled to a notice under s. 108.227 (2) (b) 1. b. and hearing under s. 108.227 (5) (a) but is not entitled to any other notice or hearing under this chapter.
(2)
If the division finds cause for revocation of a license, it shall issue a special order revoking the license, which includes its findings of fact upon which such order is based.
(3)
The division may, for reasonable cause and after a hearing on 5 days' notice, suspend any license for a period not exceeding 30 days, pending further investigation, and in so doing shall issue a special order including its findings of fact upon which such order is based.
(4)
The division shall revoke or suspend only the authorization to operate at the location with respect to which grounds for revocation or suspension apply, but if the division finds that such grounds for revocation or suspension apply to more than one location operated by such licensee, then the division shall revoke or suspend all of the authorizations of the licensee to which such grounds apply. Suspensions under sub. (1m) and revocations under sub. (1r) or (1t) shall suspend or revoke the authorization to operate at all locations operated by the licensee.
(5)
Any licensee may surrender any license by giving written notice to the division that the licensee surrenders such license and returns the license therewith.
(6)
Except for a license revoked under sub. (1r) or (1t), the division may on its own motion issue a new license when a license has been revoked.
(7)
Every license shall remain in force until it expires or is revoked or suspended or surrendered by the licensee.
