§ 534-n. Hearings, determinations and review. 1. The commission shall\nnot deny any application for a license or registration without giving\nthe applicant or prospective licensee reasonable prior notice and an\nopportunity to be heard by the commission.\n 2. Any application for a license or for inclusion in the longshore\nworkers' register, and any license issued or registration made, may be\ndenied, revoked, or suspended only in the manner prescribed in this\nsection.\n 3. The commission may on its own initiative or on complaint of any\nperson, including any public official or agency, institute proceedings\nto revoke or suspend any license or registration after a hearing at\nwhich the licensee or registrant and any person making such complaint\nshall be given an opportunity to be heard, provided that any order of\nthe commission revoking or suspending any license or registration shall\nnot become effective until fifteen days subsequent to the serving of\nnotice thereof upon the licensee or registrant unless in the opinion of\nthe commission the continuance of the license or registration for such\nperiod would be inimical to the public peace or safety. Such hearings\nshall be held in such manner and upon such notice as may be prescribed\nby the rules of the commission, but such notice shall be of not less\nthan ten days and shall state the nature of the complaint.\n 4. Pending the determination of such hearing pursuant to subdivision\nthree of this section, the commission may temporarily suspend a permit,\nlicense or registration until further order of the commission if in the\nopinion of the commission the continuance of the permit, license or\nregistration for such period is inimical to the public peace or safety.\n (a) The commission may temporarily suspend a permit, license or\nregistration pursuant to the provisions of this subdivision until\nfurther order of the commission or final disposition of the underlying\ncase, where the permittee, licensee or registrant has been indicted for,\nor otherwise charged with, a crime which is equivalent to a felony in\nthe state of New York or any crime punishable by death or imprisonment\nfor a term exceeding three hundred sixty-four days or where the\npermittee or licensee is a security officer who is charged by the\ncommission pursuant to this section with misappropriating any other\nperson's property at or on a pier or other waterfront terminal.\n (b) In the case of a permittee, licensee or registrant who has been\nindicted for, or otherwise charged with, a crime, the temporary\nsuspension shall terminate immediately upon acquittal or upon dismissal\nof the criminal charge, unless in the opinion of the commission the\ncontinuance of any such permit, license or registration is inimical to\nthe public peace or safety.\n (c) A person whose permit, license or registration has been\ntemporarily suspended may, at any time, demand that the commission\nconduct a hearing as provided for in this section. Within sixty days of\nsuch demand, the commission shall commence the hearing and, within\nthirty days of receipt of the administrative judge's report and\nrecommendation, the commission shall render a final determination\nthereon; provided, however, that these time requirements, shall not\napply for any period of delay caused or requested by the permittee,\nlicensee or registrant. Upon failure of the commission to commence a\nhearing or render a determination within the time limits prescribed\nherein, the temporary suspension of the licensee or registrant shall\nimmediately terminate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this\nsubdivision, if a federal, state, or local law enforcement agency or\nprosecutor's office shall request the suspension or deferment of any\nhearing on the ground that such a hearing would obstruct or prejudice an\ninvestigation or prosecution, the commission may in its discretion,\npostpone or defer such hearing for a time certain or indefinitely.
