68-122-109. Examinations for chief, deputy and special inspectors Suspension or revocation of commission Replacement when lost.

(a)  Examinations for chief, deputy or special inspectors shall be in writing and shall be held by the board, or by at least two (2) members of the board. Such examination shall be confined to questions, the answers to which will aid in determining the fitness and competency of the applicant for the intended service. In case an applicant for an inspector's appointment or commission fails to pass the examination, the applicant may appeal to the board for another examination, which shall be given by the board within ninety (90) days. The record of an applicant's examination shall be accessible to the applicant and the applicant's employer.

(b)  A commission may be suspended or revoked after due investigation and recommendation by the board to the commissioner for the incompetence or untrustworthiness of the holder of the commission, or for willful falsification of any matter or statement contained in the applicant's application or in a report of any inspection. A person whose commission has been suspended or revoked, except for untrustworthiness, shall be entitled to apply to the board for reinstatement or, in the case of revocation, for a new examination and commission after ninety (90) days from such revocation. A person whose commission has been suspended or revoked shall be entitled to an appeal as provided in § 68-122-115 and to be present in person and/or represented by counsel on the hearing of the appeal.

(c)  If a certificate or commission is lost or destroyed, a new certificate or commission shall be issued in its place without another examination.
