(2)

Willful charging or collecting of any rate, fee or charge not approved by the Board;

(3)

Violation of this article and the rules and regulations of the Board;

(4)

Willful failure to timely apply for a renewal of a Franchise; or

Failure to file fully executed reports and other documents and information requests as required under this article.

(b)

Revocation procedures. No Franchise shall be revoked until the Board has held a public hearing for that purpose. Notice of the public hearing shall be given to the Franchisee at least 20 days before the date of the hearing. Notice shall be in writing and shall specify the grounds on which revocation is based, with such particularity as to inform the Franchisee of the nature of the complaint made against it. After the public hearing, if the Board determines that a basis for revocation has been established, the Board may enter an order to revoke the Franchise or any other order it deems appropriate.
