Practice question
A license is suspended immediately because of an established public-health danger. The governing case falls within Section 17(2)’s health exception, and no other omitted safeguard is in issue. An appellant argues that the section categorically requires a prior hearing even in every circumstance expressly excepted by its text. Which response is best?
- The exception means every private grievance permits immediate revocation.
- Public-health words automatically legalize every action without further law.
- The exception abolishes all later accountability in every case.
- The categorical reading ignores the express exception; the particular action must still comply with all other applicable requirements.
- The section never regulates licensing at all.
