DHS 159.45(7)(b)
(b) An order for summary suspension shall be in writing and is effective immediately upon issuance. A person may not perform any activity for which certification, accreditation, or approval has been summarily suspended. Within 7 working days after an order is given, the department shall either permit the continuation of the regulated activity or initiate proceedings to revoke certification. If the department initiates revocation proceedings, an informal hearing on the sole issue of whether certification, accreditation or approval shall remain suspended during revocation proceedings shall be conducted by a department representative or designee within 15 working days after the date of suspension, unless waived by the person subject to the order.

(8) Revocation. The department may revoke a certification, accreditation or approval issued under this chapter if the department provides written notice of the revocation, including the grounds for revocation and an explanation of the process for appealing a revocation under
s. DHS 159.46, not less than 30 days before the date the revocation will take effect, and the violation on which the revocation is based remains substantially uncorrected at the end of the 30-day notice period. Revocation is effective 30 days from the date of the notice, unless the department notifies the person that substantial compliance has been achieved. A revocation shall remain in effect, regardless whether it is appealed, until the person reapplies for certification, accreditation or approval, and the department determines that the interests of the residents of the state are served, or a final decision issued in an appeal reverses the department's action. No person may perform an activity for which certification, accreditation or approval has been revoked.
