If a cemetery license is suspended, what must the operator do within 15 days?

• A. Cease all activities until informed
• B. Request a hearing before the Tribunal
• C. Pay a penalty
• D. Reapply for license

Answer: (B)

When a cemetery license is suspended, the operator has a right to challenge that decision by requesting a hearing before the Tribunal. This must be done within 15 days of the suspension. The hearing gives the operator a chance to present their case and the Tribunal to determine whether the suspension should stay in place, be lifted, or be modified. This ensures due process and a timely review of the suspension.

The other options aren’t the required remedy to contest a suspension: paying a penalty doesn’t reverse the suspension, ceasing all activities is a practical effect but not the action to challenge the suspension, and reapplying for the license isn’t the immediate mechanism to review a suspension. The essential step is to file a request for a hearing within 15 days.
