(a) The Department shall issue a notice and order to cease operation for any amusement ride found to be hazardous or unsafe. Operation of the ride shall not be resumed until the ride has been re-inspected by the Department and found to be safe for operation unless the order allows operation to resume or unless re-inspection is waived by the Department.

(b) Notwithstanding any appeal procedures covered by this subchapter, the Department shall re-inspect any carnival-amusement ride for which a permit has been suspended within 48 hours of receiving written notice from the owner of the ride stating that the condition or violation for which the permit was suspended has been corrected. If upon re-inspection, the Department determines that the condition or violation has been corrected, the Department shall reinstate the permit immediately.

(c) When, as required by 5:14A-4.13, a ride has been shut down following an incident, the ride shall not operate until the Department issues an approval for operation.

1. Where a verbal approval to operate is given, it shall be followed by a written approval. The written approval may be sent via facsimile.

2. The Department shall investigate each of these incidents, and may require records, tests, and may take temporary possession of the ride or portions of it. In cases involving death or serious injury, the Department may issue and enforce subpoenas to compel the testimony of any person who may have knowledge of any relevant matters and the production of any relevant documents.

(d) The Department may request and the owner or manufacturer, as appropriate, shall provide documentation of repairs as specified in 5:14A-9.11.
