Except as otherwise provided in this subchapter or in rules adopted pursuant to this subchapter, the imposition of a monetary penalty, suspension or revocation on a licensee by the department, including, but not limited to, the provision of notice and the conduct of hearings, is governed by the Maine Administrative Procedure Act.
