Terms Used In Alabama Code 20-2-55

  • Jurisdiction: (1) The legal authority of a court to hear and decide a case. Concurrent jurisdiction exists when two courts have simultaneous responsibility for the same case. (2) The geographic area over which the court has authority to decide cases.

The certifying boards may suspend, without an order to show cause, any registration simultaneously with the institution of proceedings under Section 20-2-54 or where renewal of registration is refused, if it finds that there is an imminent danger to the public health or safety which warrants this action. The suspension shall continue in effect until the conclusion of the proceedings, including judicial review thereof, unless sooner withdrawn by the certifying boards or dissolved by a court of competent jurisdiction.
