(1) Failure of a licensee to abide by the requirements of this chapter and any additional regulations or requirements imposed by the commission will constitute grounds for revocation of the licensee’s license as well as enforcement of the penalties provided in RRTC 5.15.320.

(2) Upon determining that any person licensed by the Robinson Rancheria to sell liquor or beer is, for any reason, no longer qualified to hold such license or reasonably appears to have violated any terms of the license or tribal regulations, including failure to pay taxes when due and owing, or have been found by any forum of competent jurisdiction, including the commission, to have violated the terms of a tribal or state license or of any provision of this chapter, the chairperson of the commission shall immediately serve written notice upon the licensee directing the he/she show cause within 10 days why his or her license should not be revoked or restricted. The notice shall state the grounds relied upon for the proposed revocation or restriction.

(3) If the licensee fails to respond to the notice within 10 days of service, the chairperson may issue an order revoking the license or placing such restrictions on the license as the chairperson deems appropriate, effective immediately. The licensee may, within the 10-day period, file with the office of the chairperson a written response and request for hearing before the commission.

(4) At the hearing, the licensee may present evidence and argument directed at the issue of whether or not the asserted grounds for the proposed revocation or restriction are in fact true, and whether such grounds justify the revocation or modifications of the license. The tribe may present other evidence as it deems appropriate.

(5) The commission, after considering all of the evidence and arguments, shall issue a written decision either upholding the license, revoking the license or imposing some lesser penalty (such as a temporary suspension or a fine), and such decision shall be final and conclusive.
