(A) If a licensee or employee of a licensee sells, gives, or otherwise furnishes licensed products to a person under the age of 21 years, or violates any other provision of this chapter, the licensee shall be charged an administrative penalty of $300. An administrative penalty of $600 shall be imposed for a second violation at the same location within 36 months after the initial violation. For a third or any subsequent violation at the same location within 36 months after the initial violation, an administrative penalty of $1,000 shall be imposed and the licensee shall lose the licensee's authorization to sell licensed products for a period of not less than 30 days nor more than one year. The loss of authorization shall be accomplished by a combination, if necessary, of a suspension of the licensee's then existing authorization and an order prohibiting renewal of the licensee's license for the prescribed period. No suspension, revocation or other penalty may take effect until the licensee has received notice, served personally or by mail, of the alleged violation and an opportunity for a hearing before the City Council. A decision that a violation has occurred must be in writing.
(B) An individual who sells, gives, or otherwise furnishes licensed products to a person under the age of 21 years shall be charged an administrative penalty of $50. No penalty may be imposed until the individual has received notice, served personally or by mail, of the alleged violation and an opportunity for a hearing before the City Council. A decision that a violation has occurred must be in writing.
