Section 11910.

The director may refuse to issue a certificate to any pest control aircraft pilot and may revoke or suspend the certificate of any such pilot, after a hearing, upon finding that the pilot is not qualified to conduct the pest control operations in accordance with the certificate, or that the pilot does not hold an appropriate and valid commercial pilot's certificate and a current appropriate medical certificate issued by the Federal Aviation Administration, or that the pilot has violated any provision of this division or Division 7 (commencing with Section 12501) pertaining to pesticides or any regulation adopted pursuant to these provisions or any regulation of an agricultural commissioner or any industrial safety order of the Department of Industrial Relations or has not complied with any order of the director or commissioner as authorized by Section 11737.

The director may, pending a hearing, suspend or condition the certificate of any pest control aircraft pilot when, upon an investigation that the director determines to be necessary and upon the receipt of affidavits by the enforcement personnel provided in Section 11501.5 or injured parties, the director finds that continuance of the certificate endangers public welfare or safety. The director may terminate the suspension or condition upon the taking of corrective action that the director determines to be satisfactory to assure qualification or compliance with the law or regulations. In that event, the matter may proceed to hearing as though that action had not been taken.
