§ 15-47. Revocation of license; alternative procedure.

(a)

Whenever it appears to the sheriff that the licensee is conducting bingo games in violation of any of the provisions of this article, or that the 1icense was obtained by fraudulent representation and no summary suspension is ordered under section 15-46, the license may be revoked; provided, however, the licensee may appear before the sheriff at the time fixed by the sheriff, for the purpose of presenting evidence why the license should not be revoked. No license shall be revoked under this section unless written notice shall have first been given at least five (5) days before the hearing thereof by depositing in the United States Mail a notice directed to said licensee at the address given in the application. The notice shall set forth a summary of the ground advanced as the basis of the revocation.

(b)

Any organization whose license is revoked under this section shall not conduct any bingo game in the county until such time as the board of supervisors, on appeal, determines to overrule the decision of the sheriff.
