§ 15-149. Complaint procedures.

(a)

Complaints about the services of a certificate holder shall be referred to the county emergency services director, county public health director, and the county EMS medical director for investigation. They shall conduct an investigation and submit their findings to the board.

(b)

If the investigation reveals that revocation, suspension or modification of a certificate is warranted, the county public health director shall notify the certificate holder by certified mail, and the board of county commissioners in writing, of such findings. This notice shall state the reasons for any finding and establish a hearing date. The hearing shall be held by the board.

(c)

Violations of this division shall be punishable by a fine not to exceed $500.00 or by imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed 60 days or by both such fine and imprisonment. In addition, the violators shall, upon conviction, pay all costs and expenses involved in the case, to include the cost of the investigation. Each day or fraction thereof that a violation continues shall be considered a separate offense.
