Failure to comply may be grounds for revocation or cancellation of the license If a licensee ceases operation of the licensed business for more than 10 continuous customary business days, he shall notify the Director in writing within 5 days of cessation of business by filing a Voluntary Temporary Suspension application, together with a $20 processing fee. An additional late fee of $50 shall accompany any request made later than 5 days after cessation of business or expiration of any previously granted suspension. Only the license owner, lessee or Resident Agent may sign the form. Upon request of a Voluntary Suspension application, the Director may grant a temporary suspension in the operation of the license for a period deemed appropriate by the Director. Approval of a request for suspension of the license is not, however, automatic and in no event will a suspension request be granted unless the licensee provides the Director with a valid reason for such suspension accompanied by supporting documentation, a plan outlining proposed efforts the licensee will take to ensure the prompt resumption of operation of the license and a good faith estimation by the licensee stating when operation of the license can be expected to resume. A suspension request will not be granted unless all outstanding renewal fees have been paid prior to the request for suspension. In addition, during the period of any suspension, all renewal fees that may become due must also be paid. The licensee is also prohibited from purchasing alcohol or obtaining special dispenser permits during any period of suspension. When a licensee desires to place the license into operation, whether prior to the expiration of the time pursuant to a suspension request or at the expiration of the time granted pursuant to a suspension request, the licensee shall notify the Director in writing of the date operation of the license will begin.
