Sec. 4-68. - Revocation of license — Alternative procedure.

(a)

Whenever it appears to the sheriff that the permit holder is conducting bingo games in violation of any of the provisions of this article, or that the permit was obtained by fraudulent representation, and no summary suspension is ordered under Section 4-67, the permit may be revoked; provided, however, that prior to such revocation the permit holder must be given an opportunity to appear before the sheriff at the time fixed by the sheriff for the purpose of presenting evidence why the permit should not be revoked. Written notice must be given at least five (5) days before such hearing by depositing in the United States mail a notice directed to said permit holder 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 permit 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.
