340A.415 LICENSE REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION; CIVIL PENALTY.
On a finding that the license or permit holder has (1) sold alcoholic beverages to another
retail licensee for the purpose of resale, (2) purchased alcoholic beverages from another retail
licensee for the purpose of resale, (3) conducted or permitted the conduct of gambling on the
licensed premises in violation of the law, (4) failed to remove or dispose of alcoholic beverages
when ordered by the commissioner to do so under section 340A.508, subdivision 3, or (5) failed
to comply with an applicable statute, rule, or ordinance relating to alcoholic beverages, the
commissioner or the authority issuing a retail license or permit under this chapter may revoke
the license or permit, suspend the license or permit for up to 60 days, impose a civil penalty of
up to $2,000 for each violation, or impose any combination of these sanctions. No suspension
or revocation takes effect until the license or permit holder has been given an opportunity for a
hearing under sections 14.57 to 14.69 of the Administrative Procedure Act. This section does
not require a political subdivision to conduct the hearing before an employee of the Office of
Administrative Hearings. Imposition of a penalty or suspension by either the issuing authority
or the commissioner does not preclude imposition of an additional penalty or suspension by the
other so long as the total penalty or suspension does not exceed the stated maximum.
