Latest version.
  • A.

    All licenses issued under this article shall be revocable in the discretion of the alcohol commission, and whenever it shall be brought to the attention of the alcohol commission that any declaration of fact contained in the application is false, or that there has been any violation thereof, or that the limitations and conditions of the license have been violated, or that the licensee permits minors to frequent or loiter around his or her place of business or permits gambling or gambling devices thereon, or permits drunken, disreputable or disorderly persons, or persons heretofore connected with the violation of liquor laws to make it a customary place of visitation or resort, or otherwise violates any of the provisions or restrictions of the state law or of this chapter, the alcohol commission shall revoke such license. Such revocation shall become final after five days, unless the licensee, within five days, demands a hearing before the alcohol commission, at which hearing the burden shall be upon the licensee to show that he or she has not violated the declaration of fact or statements contained in his or her application, or the limitations or restrictions upon his or her license, and that he or she has not violated the state law or the provisions of this chapter. The action of the alcohol commission at such hearing in arming or setting aside the revocation of such license shall be final, except as same is subject to review at law.

    B.

    Three violations of the provisions or restrictions of state law or city ordinances during a two-year period by any licensee shall result in the automatic revocation of the licensee's license in accordance with the rules and procedures otherwise established by this ordinance and state law.

    C.

    Any licensee whose license is revoked shall not be eligible to receive a license for three years from the date of revocation.

    D.
