It shall be a violation of this Chapter for a terminal operator to fail to file a report within the time prescribed in this Chapter.
A. Report Required: A terminal operator who falsely reports or fails to report the amount of push tax due as required by this Chapter shall be in violation of this Chapter and is subject to the suspension and/or revocation of their terminal operator license. All payments not remitted when due shall be paid together with a penalty assessment on the unpaid balance at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month.
B. Suspension Or Revocation Of License: The Local Liquor Commissioner or his or her designee shall have the power to suspend for not more than thirty (30) days or revoke any video gaming license issued under the provisions of this Chapter for cause, or if he/she determines that a terminal operator shall have violated any of the provisions of this Chapter, any of the statutes of the State or any other valid ordinance or resolution enacted by the corporate authorities of the Village. However, no such license shall be revoked or suspended except after the holding of a public hearing by the Local Liquor Commissioner or his or her designee. Ten (10) days' notice of the hearing shall be given to the terminal operator. Alternatively, the terminal operator shall have the opportunity to engage in a prehearing conference and agree to negotiated penalties rather than proceed to a hearing.

D. Each day a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
E. It shall be deemed a violation of this Chapter for any person to knowingly furnish false or inaccurate information to the Village. (Ord. 2021-95, 10-31-2021)
