(A) (1) An applicant licensee shall sign and submit a consent providing that the Director, his or her designee, or any law enforcement officer may inspect the public areas of the licensed premises at any reasonable time with immediate entry, may confiscate articles found on the premises in violation of any ordinance or statute, and the Director may order an emergency temporary closure of the premises if the public health, safety, morals, and welfare is threatened by multiple violations of any ordinance or statute involving disturbance of the peace or public disorder reported to the Director by the Chief of Police during the course of one day’s operation of the premises.
(2) The temporary closure shall remain in effect until review of the alleged violations by the Director within 36 hours.

(B) The Director, or any agent or employee designated by him or her in writing, may examine the books, papers, and records of any applicant licensee as he or she may deem reasonably necessary for purposes incident to the performance of his or her duties hereunder.
