PHS.7.1.350 Order to Correct Violations

(a) If upon inspection of a tattoo or body piercing establishment, it is discovered that the tattoo or body piercing establishment is not planned, equipped or operated or a practitioner is not licensed as required by this law, the Division shall notify the Department.

(b) Within five (5) days of receipt of the Division's findings, the Department shall issue a written notice of violation to the operator which shall include a list of violations, and an order that directs the operator to make specified changes that will bring the establishment into compliance with standards established in this Ordinance and that stipulates the time period within which compliance is to take place.

(c) If the order to correct violations is not carried out by the expiration of the time period stipulated in the order, the Division may direct that the Department issue an order suspending or revoking the license to operate the tattoo or body piercing establishment or the practitioner's license, or both.

(d) The operator may request, to the Division, an extension of time in order to comply which may be granted if determined reasonable by the agent of the Division. Only one such reasonable extension of time will be granted before Section PHS.7.1.350(c) may be enforced against the operator.

(e) An operator whose license has been suspended or revoked may reapply for a license after compliance and correction with the original notice of violation has been satisfied, but remains subject to penalties, loss of the original license fee, and must submit a new license fee to regain a license.
