Except as provided in subsections B and C of this section, before suspending, revoking or denying the renewal or the right of renewal of any license, or issuing any order prohibiting the sale or lease of property or the sale of cemetery lots or membership camping contracts as provided by this chapter, the commissioner shall present the licensee, owner, including the current owner of the property, operator, agent or developer with written notice of the charges filed against the person, or reasons for prohibiting the sale or lease, and shall afford the person an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to title 41, chapter 6, article 10. Within twenty days after service of a notice of hearing, the respondent shall appear by filing a written answer to the complaint. A licensee against whom the department has commenced a disciplinary proceeding under this chapter may voluntarily surrender to the department the license if the surrender of the license occurs not less than ten days prior to a hearing under this section. After the acceptance of a voluntary surrender of a license under this section the department shall not thereafter issue a license under this chapter to the licensee. B.
