Legal Documents of Halls

All permits issued by the beer board under the provisions of this chapter shall be subject to suspension or revocation by said board for the violation of any of the provisions of the state beer act or any of the provisions of this chapter.

The board created by this chapter is vested with full and complete power to investigate charges against any permit holder and to cite any permit holder to appear and show cause why his permit should not be suspended or revoked for the violation of the provisions of this chapter or the provisions of the state beer act.

Complaints filed against any permit holder for the purpose of suspending or revoking his permit shall be made in writing and filed with the board. When the board shall have reason to believe that any permit holder shall have violated any of the provisions of this chapter or any of the provisions of the state beer act, the board is authorized, in its discretion, to notify the permittee of said violations and to cite said permittee by written notice to appear and show cause why his permit should not be suspended or revoked for such violation. Said notice to appear and show cause shall state the alleged violations charged and shall be served upon the permittee either by registered letter or by a member of the police department. The notice shall be served upon the permittee at least ten (10) days before the date of the hearing. At the hearing the board shall publicly hear the evidence both in support of the charges and on behalf of the permittee. After such hearing, if the charges are sustained by the evidence, the board may, in its discretion, suspend or revoke said permit. The action of the board in all such hearings shall be final, subject only to review by the courts as provided in the state beer act. When a permit is revoked, no new permit shall be issued hereunder for the sale of beer at the same location, until the expiration of one (1) year from the date said revocation becomes final.
