Section ATCP 74.26 - Contract termination, revocation, refusal to renew, or suspension(1) An agent program may terminate the contract upon 90 days written notice to the department. The notice shall specify the reason or reasons for the termination and the last day, not to exceed the term of the current contract, that the agent program will maintain its agent status.(2) If the department finds that the agent program has failed to comply with this chapter, with the conditions in ss. 97.30, 97.41, Stats., or subch. III or IV of ch. 97, Stats., or with the terms and conditions of the contract, the department may revoke the agent program's agent status as provided in s. 97.41(2), Stats., upon 90 days written notice to the agent program, or refuse to renew a contract for the next contract period. The notice shall specify the reason or reasons the agent program has had its agent status revoked or refused to renew, and shall specify the last day in which the local health department may operate an agent program.(3) If the department determines that it is necessary to suspend an agent program's contract to protect public health or safety, the department may immediately suspend the contract upon written notice to the agent program.(4) The agent program, following a revocation, refusal to renew, or suspension, may request a hearing if it is requested in writing by the agent program within 10 days of the department's written notice. A final decision, after hearing, on a revocation or refusal to renew shall be issued by the department before the last day of the contract, specified in the department's written notice. If a hearing on a suspension is requested, the department shall hold it within 15 days after the department receives that request, unless the parties agree to an extension. Any suspension shall continue until such time as the department has issued a final decision. Note: Chapter ATCP 74 is repealed and recreated effective 5-27-18. Prior to 5-27-18 it reads:
