A. The Local Liquor Control Commissioner may revoke or suspend any license issued by him if he determines that the licensee has violated any of the provisions of this chapter or of any valid ordinance or resolution enacted by the Board of Trustees or any applicable rule or regulation established by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner or the State Commission, which is not inconsistent with law. However, no such license shall be so revoked or suspended except after a public hearing by the Local Liquor Control Commissioner with a three (3) day written notice to the licensee affording the licensee an opportunity to appear and defend himself. If the Local Liquor Control Commissioner has reason to believe that any continued operation of a particular licensed premises will immediately threaten the welfare of the community, he may, upon the issuance of a written order stating the reason for such conclusion and without notice of hearing, order the licensed premises closed for not more than seven (7) days, giving the licensee an opportunity to be heard during that period, except that if such licensee shall also be engaged in the conduct of another business or businesses on the licensed premises, such order shall not be applicable to such other business or businesses.
B. The Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall, within five (5) days after such hearing, if he determines after such hearing that the license should be revoked or suspended, state the reason or reasons for such determination in a written order of revocation or suspension and shall serve a copy of such order within the five (5) days upon the licensee.
C. Any appeals or reviews of the decision of the Local Liquor Control Commissioner shall be limited to a review of the official record from the local proceedings. (1979 Code § 3-4-25)
