§ 240. Proof of financial responsibility

(a) Any first, second or third class liquor licensee whose license is suspended by the local control commissioners or suspended or revoked by the liquor control board for selling or furnishing intoxicating liquor to a minor, to a person apparently under the influence of intoxicating liquor, to a person after legal serving hours, or to a person whom it would be reasonable to expect would be intoxicated as a result of the amount of liquor served to that person, shall be required to furnish to the liquor control department a certificate of financial responsibility within 60 days of the commencement of the suspension or revocation or at the time of reinstatement of the license, whichever is later. Financial responsibility may be established by any one or a combination of the following: insurance, surety bond or letter of credit. Coverage shall be maintained at not less than $25,000.00 per occurrence and $50,000.00 aggregate per occurrence. Proof of financial responsibility shall be requ

ired for license renewal for the three years following the suspension or revocation.

(b) Proof of financial responsibility and completion of the licensee education program established in section 239 of this title shall be conditions to resume operation after a suspension or revocation for any of the reasons in subsection (a) of this section; however, at the discretion of the suspending or revoking authority, the licensee may receive a provisional license prior to the time these conditions are met in order to allow for compliance with the education requirement or to obtain the certificate of financial responsibility. A provisional license may not be issued for a period exceeding 60 days. (Added 1987, No. 103, § 3.)
