Administrative Law Judge Will Hear Charges
Additionally, citations also were issued to two establishments in Bucks County; five in Lehigh County; and two in Northampton County.
In the report, district office Commander Sgt. Thomas C. Leib wrote that “charges will be brought before an administrative law judge.” The judge, Leib adds, has the authority to impose penalties for minor or more serious offenses.
If warranted, the judge also “can also impose a license suspension or revocation of the license based on the severity of the charge brought,” and can require training for licensees to educate them on meeting state requirements.
