R 125.221 Suspension; scope and effect.

Rule 221. (1) A suspension must specify the scope of suspension. A person can be suspended from 1 or more particular authority programs or transactions or from all authority programs and transactions. (2) The suspension may, unless prohibited by law, suspend the operation of existing contracts or agreements between the suspended persons and other nonsuspended participants or contractors. However, the decision may allow such contracts or agreements to remain in effect. A participant or contractor shall not renew or extend a contract or agreement with a suspended person. (3) A suspension may also serve to suspend any affiliate of such person, if any such affiliate is named in the notice of suspension and given an opportunity to participate in the hearing. There need not be shown any participation in or knowledge of the improper conduct, by the affiliate, that led to the decision to suspend.
