§ 188-5. Suspension and revocation; investigations.

A. 

The issuing authority is empowered to hear and determine complaints against licensees and to suspend or revoke any license or permit issued by him under any provision of this article. No license shall be suspended or revoked, however, until after a hearing upon notice to the licensee, at which hearing the licensee shall have an opportunity to be heard.

B. 

The issuing authority, when investigating any matters pertaining to the granting, issuing, transferring, renewing, revoking, suspending or canceling of any license, is hereby authorized in his discretion to take such testimony as may be necessary on which to base official action. When taking such testimony, he may subpoena witnesses and also direct the production before him of necessary and material books and papers.
