(A) As a condition attached to the issuance of, or renewal of, a liquor license hereunder, it shall be the duty of each licensee to require all officers, agents, and employees of licensee to testify (subject to any constitutional restrictions) at any hearing that may be conducted by the village, or any of its committees, commissions, boards, or agencies, or the Local Liquor Control Commissioner, regardless of whether they would otherwise be subject to subpoena power, when such hearings may relate directly or indirectly to any events or occurrences of which they may have knowledge arising out of their position as officer, agent, or employee of the licensee. It shall further be the duty of each licensee to inform all such officers, agents, and employees of their duty to testify hereunder, and each licensee shall make the same a condition of employment for all the licensee's employees.
(B) If any such officer, agent, or employee fails or refuses to testify to the full extent of their knowledge at any such hearing when requested to do so by the village, such failure shall be deemed to constitute a violation of this section by the licensee, unless such failure or refusal is based upon a constitutional right to not so testify.
(C) The violation of the provisions of this section shall constitute due cause for the suspension or revocation of the license of licensee, or sufficient grounds for nonrenewal of any such license. Any such suspension, nonrenewal or revocation shall be effective only after compliance with the procedures and provisions set forth in § 111.36, or otherwise in con formity with law. The suspension, revocation, or nonrenewal of such license shall be an additional remedy and shall not prevent or exclude a prosecutorial action for a fine under § 111.99 hereof.
