This amendment addresses fundamental fairness and due process issues pertaining to DSP’s powers to discipline licensees (FFLs). The first issue is the inherent vagueness in the term “any other state law”, as written that term might mean a speeding ticket or a summons for a barking dog. The second issue is that of fundamental fairness and due process, allowing a licensee to contest a “warning” which could lead to harsher penalties for alleged subsequent violations. The third issue is also one of fundamental fairness and addresses the dual issues of the range of “fines” (civil penalty) and the vagueness engendered by the term “and cost” as it applies to an administrative procedure penalty. The fourth and final issue is the addition of a possible period of license suspension short of a full revocation. Again, an issue of fundamental fairness.
