Section 12. Suspension and Revocation Procedures
Effective August 31, 2021
(a) The Indiana Office of Court Services may suspend or revoke the certificate of a certified program for any reason enumerated in Section 13. If the Indiana Office of Court Services determines that any certified program may have committed an act, or may have engaged in conduct or practices justifying revocation of its certificate under these rules, the Indiana Office of Court Services must, by certified mail, return receipt requested, notify the supervising judge that the Indiana Office of Court Services has requested a hearing under subsection 14(c) to determine the issue of revocation of the program’s certificate. Notice of the request for hearing must contain a statement of the matters of law and of fact to be determined at the hearing.
(b) The Indiana Office of Court Services may, without notice, suspend any certificate simultaneously with the institution of proceedings, under subsection (a), if the Indiana Office of Court Services determines that there is an imminent danger to the public health or safety which warrants this action. The suspension shall continue in effect until the conclusion of all hearings, including judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the Indiana Office of Court Services or dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Whenever the Indiana Office of Court Services determines that any reason exists justifying the revocation of a program’s certification, the Indiana Office of Court Services must observe the procedures required in Section 14.
