(4) Not later than 30 days after issuance of an order
temporarily suspending a license, the board shall conduct or
cause to be conducted a preliminary hearing to determine if
there is a prima facie case supporting the suspension. The
individual whose license has been temporarily suspended may
be present at the preliminary hearing and may be represented
by counsel, cross-examine witnesses, inspect physical
evidence, call witnesses, offer evidence and testimony and
make a record of the proceedings.
(5) If it is determined that there is not a prima facie
case, the suspended license shall be immediately restored.
The temporary suspension shall remain in effect until vacated
by the board, but in no event longer than 180 days.
(b) Automatic suspension.--

be suspended upon:
(i) conviction of a felony under the act of April
14, 1972 (P.L.233, No.64), known as The Controlled
Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act; or
(ii) conviction of an offense under the laws of
another jurisdiction, which, if committed in this
Commonwealth, would be a felony under The Controlled
Substance, Drug, Device and Cosmetic Act.
(2) Automatic suspension under this subsection may not
be stayed pending an appeal of a conviction.
(3) Restoration of the license shall be made as provided
in the case of revocation or suspension of a license.

An individual whose license has been suspended or revoked
under this act shall return the license in such manner as the
board directs. Failure to surrender the license shall be a
misdemeanor of the third degree.
Section 708. Injunction.
When, in the judgment of the board, a person has engaged in
an act or practice that constitutes or will constitute a
violation of this act, the board or its agents may make
application to the appropriate court for an order enjoining the
act or practice. Upon a showing by the board that the person has
engaged or is about to engage in the act or practice, an
injunction, restraining order or other order as may be

penalty.

proceeding, investigation or hearing held or had by the

violations and shall periodically review the records for the
purpose of determining that each alleged violation has been

municipality in this Commonwealth as proof of competence to
perform electrical services, and a municipality may not
require an individual licensed under this act to obtain an
additional license to perform electrical services.

ordinance or regulation concerning the qualifications,
fitness and competence of individuals to perform electrical
services is preempted and superseded.
