Code of Alabama
Chapter 24 - Water Well Standards.
Section 22-24-7 - Well Driller's License - Refusal, Suspension or Revocation.

(a) A license may be refused or a license duly issued may be suspended or revoked, or the renewal thereof refused by the board, if, after notice and hearing as provided in this section, it finds that the applicant for, or holder of, such license:
(1) Is unable to present evidence of his qualifications suitable to the board;
(2) Has intentionally made a material misstatement in the application for such license;
(3) Has willfully violated any provision of this chapter;
(4) Has obtained, or attempted to obtain, such license by fraud or misrepresentation;
(5) Has been guilty of fraudulent or dishonest practices; or
(6) Has demonstrated lack of competence as a driller of water wells.
(b) Before any license shall be refused, or suspended or revoked, or the renewal thereof refused, under this section, the board shall give notice of its intention to do so by registered or certified mail to the applicant for, or holder of, such license and shall set a date not less than 20 days from the date of mailing such notice when the applicant or licensee may appear to be heard and produce evidence. In the conduct of such hearing, the board, or an authorized representative specially designated by it for such purpose, shall have power to administer oaths, to require the appearance of and examine any person under oath, to require the production of books, records or papers relevant to the inquiry upon its own initiative or upon the request of the applicant or licensee. Upon termination of such hearing, the findings shall be reduced to writing and, upon approval by the board, shall be filed in its office and notice of the findings and resulting decision sent by registered or certified mail to the applicant or licensee concerned.
(c) No licensee whose license has been revoked under this section shall be entitled to file another application for a license as a water well driller within one year from the effective date of such revocation or, if judicial review of such revocation is sought, within one year from the date of final court order or judgment affirming such revocation. Such application, when filed, may be refused by the board unless the applicant shows good cause why revocation of his license shall not be deemed a bar to the issuance of a new license.
