5.50.540 Revocation or Suspension of Massage Therapist License.

1. A.
   The Municipal Judge, sitting as an administrative hearing officer, may, after notice and a hearing, revoke or suspend a massage therapist license where it appears that the therapist has been convicted of or diverted on any offense enumerated in Section 5.50.520A or for violation of any of the provisions of this ordinance to include the application standards. Convictions or diversions for any offense found in Section 5.50.520 shall result in revocation unless the Municipal Judge determines by clear and convincing evidence that such licensee will not pose a threat to the public in such person's capacity as a licensee and that such person has been sufficiently rehabilitated to warrant the public trust.
2. B.
   Before revoking or suspending any massage therapist license, the Municipal Judge shall give the massage therapist at least ten days' written notice of the hearing and specify the alleged violation of this code warranting suspension or revocation.
3. C.
   Any massage therapist aggrieved by a revocation or suspension of their license may seek judicial review as set forth in Section 5.50.350E.
