(A) Except in cases of failure of financial responsibility, no suspension or revocation shall take effect until the licensee has been afforded an opportunity for a hearing pursuant to M.S. §§ 14.57 through 14.69, as they may be amended from time to time, of the Administrative Procedure Act.
(B) Lapse of required dram shop insurance or bond, or withdrawal of a required deposit of cash or securities, shall effect an immediate suspension of any license issued pursuant to this subchapter without further action of the City Council. Notice of cancellation, lapse of a current liquor liability policy or bond, or withdrawal of deposited cash or securities shall also constitute notice to the licensee of the impending suspension of the license. The holder of a license who has received notice of lapse of required insurance or bond, or withdrawal of a required deposit, or of suspension or revocation of a license, may request a hearing thereon and, if a request is made in writing to the City Administrator, a hearing shall be granted within ten days, or a longer period as may be requested. Any suspension under this section shall continue until the City Council determines that the financial responsibility requirements of this subchapter have again been met.
