     349.1641 Licenses; summary suspension. 


    The board may (1) summarily suspend the license of an 
 organization that is more than three months late in filing a tax 
 return or in paying a tax required under chapter 297E and may 
 keep the suspension in effect until all required returns are 
 filed and required taxes are paid; and (2) summarily suspend for 
 not more than 90 days any license issued by the board or 
 director for what the board determines are actions detrimental 
 to the integrity of lawful gambling in Minnesota.  The board 
 must notify the licensee at least 14 days before suspending the 
 license under this section.  If a license is summarily suspended 
 under this section, a contested case hearing on the merits must 
 be held within 20 days of the issuance of the order of 
 suspension, unless the parties agree to a later hearing date.  
 The administrative law judge's report must be issued within 20 
 days after the close of the hearing record.  In all cases 
 involving summary suspension, the board must issue its final 
 decision within 30 days after receipt of the report of the 
 administrative law judge and subsequent exceptions and argument 
 under section 14.61.  When an organization's license is 
 suspended under this section, the board shall within three days 
 notify all municipalities in which the organization's gambling 
 premises are located and all licensed distributors in the state.
