§ 4-30. Basis for determination to suspend or to revoke permit; revocation of other permits; modification of cases.

In determining cases involving the suspension or revocation of permits, if the council finds that the violation is of a minor nature, or that there are extenuating circumstances, or that there are reasonable grounds to expect that permittee will not again violate any of the provisions of this chapter, the council may suspend the permit for such time as it thinks proper. If the permittee has previously been fined or had a permit suspended or revoked, or if the violation is flagrant or serious, the council may revoke the permit or permits and shall immediately notify the state and local authorities of its action. When the council either suspends or revokes a permit, all permits to deal in beverages as herein defined and all similar local permits are ipso facto suspended or revoked without action on the part of the state or local governing authorities. The council shall retain jurisdiction to reopen cases at any time upon petition or ex propria motu, and for good cause shown may modify, revise or reverse its former findings and decisions and all such reopened cases shall be heard and determined under the same rules of procedure as original cases.
