Latest version.
The board of directors of the cable television commission shall not determine that
a license shall be terminated upon grounds identified by section 90-753, above, until a hearing has been conducted upon the matter. Written notice of the
time, date and place of the hearing shall be mailed to the licensee and the licensee's
surety on the performance bond filed pursuant to section 90-721 or pursuant to section 90-722 below, not later than 30 calendar days in advance of the date of commencement of
the hearing. The notice shall state the reasons for the hearing, describe the basis

under the laws of the State of California.
The cost of providing quarters for the hearing, the compensation for the hearing officer,
if any, and the per diem cost of any reporter retained to record the proceedings shall
be borne by the cable television commission. The costs incurred by the parties for
attorneys' fees, expert witness fees and other expenses shall be borne solely by the
party incurring the costs.
