District Court of Appeal of Florida

An emergency final order of suspension of a child day care center's license under section 120.60(6) of the Administrative Procedures Act is reversed where the Department of Children and Families failed to promptly institute formal proceedings pursuant to the statute, and thus the center's procedural due process rights were violated.
