Ch. 2

(C)  NOTICE OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION AND EFFECTIVE DATE.
IF A LICENSE IS SUSPENDED OR REVOKED UNDER THIS SECTION:

(1)  THE COMPTROLLER SHALL GIVE THE LICENSEE NOTICE OF
THE SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION; AND

(2)  THE SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION SHALL NOT BE
EFFECTIVE FOR AT LEAST 5 BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING NOTICE OF THE
SUSPENSION OR REVOCATION.

(D)  EFFECT OF DISCIPLINARY ACTION.

(1)  DURING THE DISCIPLINARY PERIOD, A PERSON WHOSE
LICENSE IS SUSPENDED OR REVOKED UNDER THIS SECTION MAY NOT SELL
CIGARETTES OR PERMIT THE SALE OF CIGARETTES ON THE PREMISES THAT
THE PERSON OPERATES.

(2)  THE TRANSFER, RENEWAL, OR EXPIRATION OF A LICENSE
WILL NOT BAR OR ABATE A DISCIPLINARY ACTION UNDER THIS SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is derived without substantive
change from former Art. 56, § 70(b), (c), and the
fourth and fifth sentences of (a). It is revised to
apply to any license.

In subsection (a) of this section, the references to
"a first" or "a subsequent" offense are substituted
for the former phrases "in the case of a first
offender" and "in case of second or subsequent
violations", for brevity.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the defined
term "license" is substituted for the former reference
to "said wholesaler's or retailer's special cigarette
license or licenses", for clarity.

Also in subsection (a) of this section, the former
reference to business days as "days other than Sundays
or legal holidays" is deleted as surplusage.

Subsection (c) of this section is rephrased in
standard language to require affirmatively that the
conditions stated in items (1) and (2) must be
satisfied before a suspension or revocation becomes
effective.

Also in subsection (c) of this section, the former
reference to an "order" is deleted as unnecessary in
light of the requirement that "notice" be given.

In subsection (d) of this section, the former words
"continuance" and "extension" are deleted as included
in the word "renewal".
