§ 28.2-232. Revocation of licenses
The Commission may revoke and prohibit the issuance, reissuance, or renewal of any licenses if, after a hearing held after ten days' notice to the applicant or licensee, it finds that the person has violated any provision of this subtitle.
The duration of the revocation and prohibition shall be fixed by the Commission up to a maximum of two years, taking into account (i) evidence of repeated or habitual disregard for conservation, health and safety laws and regulations; (ii) abusive conduct and behavior toward officers; and (iii) the severity of any damage that has occurred, or might have occurred, to the natural resources, the public health, or the seafood industry.
An appeal from the Commission's decision may be taken to the courts as provided in Article 3 (§ 28.2-216 et seq.) of this chapter.
