(a) The secretary may, for such period, or indefinitely, as the secretary deems necessary to effectuate the purposes of this act, refuse to provide, or withdraw, inspection service under this act with respect to any establishment if the secretary determines, after opportunity for a hearing is accorded to the applicant for, or recipient of, such service, that such applicant or recipient is unfit to engage in any business requiring inspection under this act because the applicant or recipient, or anyone responsibly connected with the applicant or recipient, has been convicted, in any federal or state court, of (1) any felony based upon the acquiring, handling, transporting or distributing of unwholesome, adulterated, mislabeled or deceptively packaged food or upon fraud in connection with transactions in food, or (2) more than one violation of any law, other than a felony, based upon the acquiring, handling, transporting or distributing of unwholesome, adulterated, mislabeled or deceptively packaged food or upon fraud in connection with transactions in food. This section shall not affect in any way other provisions of this act for withdrawal of the inspection services from establishments failing to maintain sanitary conditions or to destroy condemned carcasses, parts, meat or meat food products, poultry or poultry products.

(b) Hearings under this section shall be conducted in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act.
