(AS OF SENATE 2ND READING 3/12/03)

Revises provisions relating to the summary suspension of a liquor license pending revocation proceedings.

Authorizes the board to summarily suspend a license or permit for a period of up to one hundred eighty days without a prior hearing if it finds that public health, safety, or welfare imperatively require emergency action, and incorporates a finding to that effect in its order; and proceedings for revocation or other action must be promptly instituted and determined. The board's enforcement division shall complete a preliminary staff investigation of the violation before requesting an emergency suspension by the board.
