OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
Basis for suspension or revocation.
- Although the Asbestos Licensing Board has the authority to suspend or revoke a license or certificate based upon a knowing violation of this chapter or the rules and regulations promulgated thereto, such a suspension may be based upon "poor work practices" only when such work practices constitute a violation of the work practice rules and regulations established by the Department of Natural Resources. 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 92-20.
Additional regulations not required.
- O.C.G.A.
§
12-12-9 establishes the basis upon which the Asbestos Licensing Board may seek to revoke or suspend a license or certificate and provides the hearing procedures to be followed; therefore, the Board need not enact additional regulations. 1992 Op. Att'y Gen. No. 92-20.
