### sec.64 Immediate amendment or suspension of permits for safety or conservation
This section applies if the chief executive reasonably believes a permit should be amended or suspended—
to secure the safety of a person or a person’s property; or
because of a fire or other natural disaster; or
to conserve or protect the cultural or natural resources of the recreation area to which the permit applies.
The chief executive may, verbally or by signs, advise the permit holder that—
the permit is taken to be amended in the way the chief executive advises; or
the permit is suspended, to the extent the chief executive advises.
If the chief executive acts under subsection (2) , the amendment or suspension takes effect immediately after the holder is advised of the amendment or suspension and continues until the chief executive advises that the chief executive is satisfied the reason for the amendment or suspension no longer exists.

The chief executive must as soon as practicable put a notice on the department’s website advising when the amendment or suspension no longer applies.
