701.316. 1. Except as otherwise authorized by subsection 2 of section 701.310, no person shall engage in or conduct lead-bearing substance activities without having successfully completed a [department] department-accredited or United States Environmental Protection [Agency accredited] Agency-accredited training program and without having been licensed by the department.
2. The department shall develop and periodically update lists of all licensed inspectors, contractors, supervisors, workers, and other persons who perform lead hazard inspection and abatement and shall make such lists available free of charge to interested parties and the public.
3. The department may restrict, revoke, suspend or deny any license at any time if it believes that the terms or conditions of such license are being violated or that the holder of, or applicant for, the license has violated any regulation of the department or any [other] state law or regulation, or any federal law or regulation, or the laws or regulations of other states. The restriction, revocation, suspension or denial shall be effective immediately. Any person aggrieved by a determination by the department to restrict, [deny,] revoke, [or] suspend or deny any license may request a hearing before the administrative hearing commission within thirty days
of receipt of the notice of license restriction, revocation, suspension or denial. The licensure shall remain restricted, revoked, suspended or denied while the hearing is pending.

5. The director shall assess fees for licenses and accreditation in accordance with rules or regulations promulgated pursuant to sections 701.300 to 701.330. All such fees shall be deposited into the state treasury to the credit of the Missouri public health services fund, established in section 192.900, RSMo.
