(a) The Director of Finance may suspend a license issued pursuant to this chapter, by mailing to or serving the licensee with written notice thereof, if the Director of Finance determines that the licensee received a pool and/or bowling hall license in violation of Section 749.02(b) or (c) and/or Section 749.03. The licensee shall have ten consecutive business days to respond to the suspension and correct any deficiencies thereof. If the licensee fails, refuses or is unable to correct the deficiencies within the ten days provided herewith, then the suspension shall become a revocation of the license and the revocation shall become effective upon written notification mailed to or served on the licensee by the Director of Finance after the expiration of the ten days provided herein.
(b) The Director of Finance, upon written notice mailed to or served on the licensee, may suspend, for a period not to exceed thirty days, a license issued pursuant to this chapter if it is determined by the Director of Finance, and the Director of Public Safety concurs, that the licensee is in violation of Sections 749.05 or 749.06. If during the suspension period the licensee fails, refuses or is unable to remedy the violation which caused the suspension, then the license shall be revoked, at the expiration of the suspension period, upon written notice mailed to or served on the licensee by the Director of Finance.
(c) The Director of Finance shall revoke a license issued pursuant to this chapter, upon written notice mailed to or served on the licensee, if the licensee is convicted of violating Sections 749.07, 749.08(a), (b) or (c) or 749.09. The Director of Finance shall, upon written notice mailed to or served on the licensee, suspend the license of any licensee charged with violating the provisions cited herein and the suspension shall be in effect pending the outcome of such charge in a court of law. An administrative hearing for revocation and/or suspension of a license, pursuant to this provision is not, therefore, required.
(d) A licensee may request a hearing, within three consecutive business days after receipt of a revocation notice, (except as provided in subsection (c) hereof) before a panel comprised of the Director of Public Safety, Director of Public Service and the Director of Law, or their respective designees. The hearing shall be held within ten consecutive business days after the hearing is requested. The decision of the panel is final.
