Statute text

A certificate of registration may be revoked or suspended whenever it has been determined that the registrant has transmitted or distributed records obtained under the applicable sections in a manner which does not comply with the provisions of law governing the transmittal of confidential documentary information under the code sections specified in Section 22450, or which constitutes an improper transmittal or distribution not amounting to a violation of law.

(b)An investigation concerning the revocation of certificate of registration of a registrant may be commenced at any time the public prosecutor deems it appropriate or upon the complaint of any person who has been injured by a transmittal or distribution which was handled by the registrant and does not comply with the provisions of law governing the transmittal of confidential documentary information under the code sections specified in Section 22450, or which constitutes an improper transmittal or distribution not amounting to a violation of law.

(c)If the public prosecutor determines from the investigation that cause may exist for the suspension or revocation of the certificate of registration, he or she shall set the matter for hearing and give notice to the registrant. That hearing shall be conducted in accordance with Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 11500) of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code, and, for the purposes of those provisions, the public prosecutor shall be deemed to be the agency, but shall be charged as provided by Section 11527 of the Government Code.
