Title 8 : Alcoholic Beverages
Chapter 2 : Beer
8-214 : Revocation, suspension, civil penalty.
- The beer board shall have the power to revoke or suspend any beer permit issued under the provisions of this chapter when the holder thereof is guilty of making a false statement or misrepresentation in his application or of violating any of the provisions hereof. However, no beer permit shall be revoked until a public hearing is held by the board after ten (10) days notice to all known parties of interest. Revocation proceedings may be initiated by the mayor or the police chief.
- Pursuant to Tennessee Code Annotated, § 57-5-608 the beer board shall not revoke or suspend a permit because of the sale of beer to a minor if, at the time of the sale the permit holder was a responsible vendor, and the clerk who made the sale was certified under the responsible vendor program. If the permit holder certification has been revoked, the permit holder shall be punished by the beer board as if the vendor were not certified as a responsible vendor.
- In lieu of any suspensions that might have been imposed but for the restrictions set forth in (2) above; the beer board may impose a civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00). If the beer board determines that a clerk of a beer permit holder certified under the responsible vendor program sold beer to a minor, the beer board shall report the name of the clerk to the Alcohol Beverage Commission within fifteen (15) days after such determination by the board.
- In addition to the authority set forth in subsection (2) and (3) hereinabove, the beer board may at the time it imposes a suspension offer a permit holder the alternative of paying a civil penalty not to exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) provided however that the amount of the civil penalty may be increased to an amount not to exceed two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500.00) in the case of a sale to a minor by a permit holder that is not a responsible vendor. If a civil penalty is offered as an alternative to revocation or suspension, the holder shall have seven (7) days within which to pay the civil penalty before the revocation or suspension shall be imposed. If the civil penalty is paid within that time, the revocation or suspension shall be deemed withdrawn.
- A beer permit holder who incurs a violation of any provision of § 8-213 herein, may have that violation removed from its record for the purpose of determining the length of time of a suspension or a revocation, if said holder incurs no additional violation of any provision of § 8-213 within a twenty-four (24) month period.
- In addition to the aforementioned penalty set forth herein and in other provisions herein, any individual(s) who actually consummate(s) the sale of beer to a minor may, in addition to any fine, costs or diversion, have a community service sentence imposed of not more than forty (40) hours.
