(A) (1) If the municipality determines that facts exist for revocation of a license, the municipality shall notify the licensee in writing of the intent to revoke the license, including the grounds therefor, by personal delivery, or by certified mail. The notification shall be directed to the most current business address on file with the municipality. Within five working days of receipt of the notice, the licensee may provide to the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality, in writing, a response that shall include a statement of reasons why the license should not be revoked. Within three days of the receipt of the licensee’s written response, the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality shall notify the licensee in writing of the hearing date on licensee's revocation proceeding.
(2) Within ten working days of the receipt of licensee's written response, the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality shall conduct a hearing at which the licensee shall have the opportunity to be represented by counsel and present evidence and witnesses on his or her behalf. If a response is not received by the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality in the time stated or, if after the hearing, the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality finds that grounds exist for revocation, the decision shall become final five days after the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality sends, by certified mail, written notice that the license has been revoked. The notice shall include a statement advising the licensee of the right to appeal the decision to a court of competent jurisdiction.
(3) If the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality finds that no grounds exist for revocation of a license, then within five days after the hearing, the municipal manager or person appointed by the municipality shall withdraw the intent to revoke the license, and shall so notify the licensee in writing by certified mail of that action and shall contemporaneously issue the license.
(B) When a decision to revoke a license becomes final, the licensee whose license has been revoked, shall have the right to appeal the action to a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon the filing of any court action to appeal, challenge, restrain, or otherwise enjoin the municipality's enforcement of the revocation, the municipality shall immediately issue the licensee a provisional license. The provisional license shall allow the licensee to continue operation of the business and will expire upon the court's entry of a judgment on the licensee’s action to appeal, challenge, restrain, or otherwise enjoin the municipality's enforcement.
