What is the maximum number of days a license can be temporarily suspended without a hearing?

In the context of pharmacy practice in Minnesota, a temporary suspension of a license can be enacted without a hearing under specific conditions, typically when the health and safety of the public are at significant risk. The maximum duration for such a suspension is 60 days. This provision allows for immediate action to protect the public while still providing the licensee the opportunity for a fair hearing afterward.

Understanding this timeframe is critical for ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and maintaining the integrity of pharmacy practice. It serves to balance the urgent necessity for public safety with the rights of the licensee to contest the suspension in an appropriate legal forum soon after the suspension is enacted.
