(A) When the Village President becomes aware of any violation of this chapter, he or she may call a hearing to determine whether the license issued to a particular establishment should be revoked or suspended. If a hearing is called the Village President will act as a hearing officer and the person named as the owner or manager of the establishment on the license application form shall be notified by certified mail of the date of the hearing and the nature of the charges lodged against the establishment, its agents or employees, which constitute the violations of this chapter. The hearing shall not occur less than seven days nor more than 21 days after service of the notice upon the owner or the manager of the establishment. At that hearing the village, through its Village Attorney or Village Prosecutor, and the owner or the manager of the establishment may present evidence relevant to the question as to whether a violation did occur. Evidence shall be presented as provided by law. If the village proves by a preponderance of the evidence that the violation took place as charged, the Village President shall determine whether the license should be suspended or revoked. If suspension or revocation is ordered, it shall begin immediately upon notification to the owner or manager of the establishment. Such notice shall be given within seven days after a hearing has been completed.
(B) If the Village President suspends or revokes the license, the licensee may file in the Circuit Court of Will County for an administrative review of that decision as provided for in the Illinois Administrative Review Act.
(C) If the license is revoked, the licensee shall not be eligible to apply for a license to perform the same business activity at the establishment until the next license year.
