§ 210. Suspension or revocation of license or permit; administrative penalty

• (a)(1) The control commissioners or the Board of Liquor and Lottery shall have power to suspend
  or revoke any permit or license granted pursuant to this title in the event the person
  holding the permit or license shall at any time during the term of the permit or license
  conduct its business in violation of this title, the conditions pursuant to which
  the permit or license was granted, or any rule prescribed by the Board of Liquor and
  Lottery. (2) No revocation shall be made until the permittee or licensee has been notified and
  given a hearing before the Board of Liquor and Lottery, unless the permittee or licensee
  has been convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of violating the provisions
  of this title. (3) In the case of a suspension, the permittee or licensee shall be notified and given
  a hearing before the Board of Liquor and Lottery or the local control commissioners,
  whichever applies. (4) Any decision to suspend or revoke a license shall be issued in writing and set forth
  the reasons for the suspension or revocation and, if applicable, the duration of the
  suspension. (5) A tobacco license may not be suspended or revoked for a first-time violation. Suspension
  or revocation of a tobacco license shall not affect any liquor license held by the
  licensee. (b)(1) In addition to the authority to suspend or revoke any permit or license, the Board
  of Liquor and Lottery may impose an administrative penalty of up to $7,500.00 per
  violation against a holder of a wholesale dealer’s license or a holder of a first-,
  second-, or third-class license for a violation of the conditions of the license or
  of this title or of any rule adopted by the Board. (2) The administrative penalty may be imposed after a hearing before the Board or after
  the licensee has been convicted by a court of competent jurisdiction of violating
  the provisions of this title. (3) The Board may also impose an administrative penalty under this subsection against
  a holder of a tobacco license of up to $250.00 for a first violation and up to $2,500.00
  for subsequent violations. (4) For the first violation during a tobacco or alcohol compliance check during any three-year
  period, a licensee or permittee shall receive a warning and be required to attend
  a Division server training class.
