57-4-202. Revocation or suspension of permits Review.

(a)  The commission shall have authority to revoke or suspend any permit granted herein for the violations of the provisions of any applicable provision of this chapter, and any person aggrieved by the action of this commission in revoking or suspending a permit, or in refusing to grant a permit, may have such action reviewed as provided by the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5.

(b)  When local or municipal beer or alcohol commissions responsible for controlling the sale of beer find violations, as defined in this chapter, in the sale of beer or malt beverages consumed on-premises that result in the suspension of operation for specified periods of time, such beer or malt beverage sale suspension may also include suspension of such establishment's authority to sell alcoholic beverages for the same period of time, and the local or municipal commission shall serve notice of the alcohol beverage suspension upon the alcohol beverage commission, which shall review that suspension within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice, and render a decision affirming or reversing such suspension. Such decision shall be final, and any party aggrieved thereby may appeal the decision as provided by the Uniform Administrative Procedures Act, compiled in title 4, chapter 5. Failure of the alcohol beverage commission to act within thirty (30) days shall be construed as an affirmation of such suspension. The provisions of this subsection shall not apply to counties with a metropolitan form of government.
