(A) Any person who violates:
(1) Any provision of this chapter;
(2) M.S. §§ 609.75 through 609.763, inclusive, as they may be amended from time to time; or
(3) M.S. §§ 349.11 through 349.21, as they may be amended from time to time, or any rules promulgated under those sections, as they may be amended from time to time; shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be punished as set forth in § 10.99.
(B) A local permit may be revoked or temporarily suspended for a violation by the gambling organization of any state statute, state rule, or city regulation relating to gambling. Additionally, a violation of this chapter may result in a recommendation by the city to disapprove or not renew a license or premises permit. The city may also revoke a premises permit for any violation of this chapter which is not corrected within 10 days of notice of such violation from the city.
(C) A license shall not be revoked or suspended until notice and an opportunity for a hearing have first been given to the permitted organization. The notice shall be personally served and shall state the provision reasonably believed to be violated. The notice shall also state that the permitted organization may demand a hearing on the matter, in which case the permit will not be suspended until after the hearing is held. If the permitted organization requests a hearing, the Council shall hold a hearing on the matter at least 1 week after the date on which the request is made. If, as a result of the hearing, the Council finds that violation exists, then the Council may suspend or revoke the permit.
(D) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to require the city to undertake any responsibility for enforcing compliance with M.S. Ch.349 other than those provisions related to the issuance of premises permits as required in M.S. § 349.213 as it may be amended from time to time.
