Can the commissioner revoke a license before a hearing?

Explanation:
Due process requires notice and a hearing before a license can be revoked. A license revocation is a serious penalty, and final action typically comes after the holder has had a chance to present evidence and defend themselves. While there are mechanisms to take temporary emergency measures to suspend a license to protect safety, those are not final revocations and must be followed by a hearing. So revoking a license before a hearing is not allowed.
