Hi JA

If you are running 3.4.x or 3.6.x then yes, you can find that
information in the debarred column in the borrowers table.

It stores the date of when the suspension ends, so you could do a
report like this

SELECT debarred FROM borrowers WHERE cardnumber = <<cardnumber>>

Then when you run it, it will prompt you for a cardnumber if you enter
that you get the date the person is suspended until.

Or you could do something like

SELECT firstname,lastname,cardnumber,debarred FROM borrowers WHERE
debarred IS NOT NULL

Which will get you a list of them all.

Also, you might like to look on http://bugs.koha-community.org and
file an enhancement request to get the date suspended to showing on
the borrower record, if a request doesn't already exist.
Also, I haven't checked the latest version, it may show the date already
