Disciplinary provisions - Interim suspension or disqualification

147L: Board must take reasonable steps to hold hearing as soon as practicable if it makes interim suspension or disqualification order

You could also call this:

“Board must quickly arrange a hearing after temporarily stopping someone from working”

If the Board makes an order to suspend or disqualify someone under section 147I, they must try their best to have a hearing as soon as they can after making that order. This rule only applies while the order is still active. If the order is no longer in effect, the Board doesn’t need to rush to have a hearing. Remember, this rule works together with section 147H, which might change how it’s applied in some cases.
