(A) Recommendation by Sheriff. Whenever the Sheriff shall have good cause to believe there exist grounds for revocation of any license acquired under this chapter, he or she shall submit a written recommendation of revocation to the Chairperson of the Board of Commissioners and by registered mail shall forward a copy of his or her recommendation to the licensee. The recommendation shall state the specific grounds for the revocation of the license.
(B) Causes. Cause of revocation of the license shall exist for the failure of the licensee to perform any duty required by this chapter, for violation of any provision of this chapter, or for conviction of the licensee of any crime involving moral turpitude. If any licensee or employee of the licensee shall, in the course of the business regulated hereunder, attempt through a physical act performed upon the person of another, to sexually arouse or stimulate the person, the attempt shall also constitute grounds for revocation of the license. Intentional touching of the genitals of a person being massaged shall constitute prima facie evidence of an attempted sexual arousal or stimulation. Grounds shall also exist if, by reason of the nature or the manner or place in which the licensee conducts his or her business a nuisance, menace to good order, public health, safety or morals is created.
(C) Defense. Prior to revocation of any license by the Board of Commissioners, the licensee shall be given an opportunity to appear and be heard, to rebut any evidence against him or her, and to present any evidence or witnesses in his or her defense.
