REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from the second and third sentences of former Art. 27, § 259A(b)(2).
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a "money" prize is
substituted for the former references to a prize of "coins" or "currency" for
consistency within this title.
13-708. SAME — REVOCATION OF LICENSE.
IN ADDITION TO ANY OTHER PENALTY PROVIDED BY LAW, THE COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS MAY REVOKE A BINGO LICENSE FORTHWITH IF:
(1) THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS DETERMINE AFTER AN
INVESTIGATION THAT:
(I) THE LICENSE HOLDER MADE A FALSE STATEMENT IN THE
APPLICATION FOR THE LICENSE; OR
(II) THE CONDUCT OF LICENSED BINGO AT THE PREMISES NAMED
IN THE LICENSE WOULD:
1. DISTURB THE PEACE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD;
2. CREATE A NUISANCE; OR
3. BE DETRIMENTAL TO THE MORALS, HEALTH, OR WELFARE
OF THE COMMUNITY; OR
(2) THE LICENSE HOLDER IS CONVICTED OF:
(I) VIOLATING §§ 13-705 THROUGH 13-707 OF THIS SUBTITLE; OR
(II) A FELONY.
REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 259A(b)(9) and the second clause of the
second sentence of (11).
In the introductory language of this section, the phrase "[i]n addition to
any other penalty provided by law" is substituted for the former phrase
"the applicant shall be subject to all the penalties provided by law" for
consistency within this article.
In item (1)(ii)1 of this section, the former reference to "quiet" is deleted as
included in the reference to "peace".
The Criminal Law Article Review Committee notes, for the consideration
of the General Assembly, that item (1)(ii)3 of this section varies from an
analogous provision in § 13-705(g)(1)(iii) of this subtitle. Only in this
section may the county commissioners revoke a license for conduct that
would be detrimental to the "morals" of the community.

In item (2) of this section, the phrase "convicted of" is substituted for the
former phrase "found guilty ... of" for consistency within this article.
