As Amended
SEC. 27-69-9. Permit may be revoked and reinstated.
In addition to the penalties imposed in this chapter, after the second offense for any violation, the commissioner shall revoke any permit which may have been issued to any person, or persons, violating any provisions of this chapter, or any rules or regulations promulgated by the commissioner under authority of this chapter, after giving such person ten (10) days' notice in writing of his intention to revoke such permit. Any person whose permit shall have been revoked by the commissioner shall thereafter be prohibited from exercising any privileges taxable under the provisions of this chapter.
The commissioner, in the event a permit is revoked, is required to notify by letter, all manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors having a permit required by this chapter, that such permit has been revoked, and such manufacturer, wholesaler and distributor is henceforth prohibited from selling taxable tobacco to such dealer.
The commissioner may, however, for good cause shown, reinstate such permit upon the filing of a bond with the commissioner, in the amount not to exceed One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), which bond must be signed by two (2) persons in addition to the party whose permit has been revoked, and such bond must be approved by the clerk of the circuit court of the county in which the persons signing the bond are domiciled, and upon such other conditions as the commissioner may prescribe.
