§ 130.99 PENALTY.

   (A)   Any person violating any provision of this chapter for which no specific penalty is prescribed shall be subject to § 10.99 of this code of ordinances.

   (B)   (1)   Any person who violates:

         (a)   Any provision of §§ 130.01 to 130.16;

         (b)   M.S. §§ 609.75 to 609.763, inclusive, as they may be amended from time to time; or

         (c)   M.S. §§ 349.11 to 349.191, 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.

      (2)   A local permit may be revoked or temporarily suspended for a violation by the gambling organization of any state statute, state rule, or city ordinance relating to gambling. Additionally, a violation of §§ 130.01 to 130.16 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 §§ 130.01 to 130.16 which is not corrected within ten days of notice of such violation from the city.

      (3)   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 one week after the date on which the request is made. If, as a result of the hearing, the Council finds that an ordinance violation exists, then the Council may suspend or revoke the permit.

      (4)   Nothing in §§ 130.01 to 130.16 shall be construed to require the city to undertake any responsibility for enforcing compliance with M.S. Ch. 349, as it may be amended from time to time, 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.

   (C)   Upon a subsequent violation, any person violating any provision of §§ 130.30 to 130.32 shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not to exceed $100 or by imprisonment not to exceed 90 days.
