What action can the commission take if the public's interest, health, safety, or welfare is at risk?

The correct action is to summarily suspend a license when the public's interest, health, safety, or welfare is at risk. This authority allows the commission to take immediate action to protect the public from potential harm caused by an individual licensee's actions that might pose a risk. By suspending a license without prior notice, the commission can prevent further risk while investigating the circumstances surrounding the issue.

Immediate suspension is crucial in situations where timely intervention is necessary to safeguard the well-being of the public. This action is typically reserved for serious or urgent cases where the continuation of the license could lead to significant negative consequences.

In contrast, increasing fees for licenses or mandating additional training does not directly address immediate threats to public safety; these measures would generally apply under circumstances where the commission seeks to improve standards or enhance qualifications rather than react to a specific risk. Revoking all licenses indefinitely would be an extreme measure and not a targeted response to a specific individual's conduct that poses a risk. Summarily suspending a license is the most effective and direct method for ensuring the public's safety in urgent situations.
