Section 1607. Suspension and revocation of licenses  


Latest version.
  • The division may
      suspend or revoke,  after  notice  and  an  opportunity  for  a  hearing
      pursuant  to  the state administrative procedure act, any license issued
      pursuant to this article. Such  license  may,  however,  be  temporarily
      suspended by the division without prior notice, pending any prosecution,
      investigation  or  hearing. A license may be suspended or revoked by the
      division for one or more of the following reasons:
        a. Failure to account for lottery tickets received or the proceeds  of
      the  sale  of  lottery  tickets  or  to  file  a bond if required by the
      division or to comply with instructions of the division  concerning  the
      licensed activity;
        b.  Conviction  of  any  offense  as  defined in the penal law, or any
      felony under the laws of the United States or  under  the  laws  of  the
      state  of  New  York  or  any other state or foreign jurisdiction or any
      crime relating to gaming activities;
        c. Failure to file any return or report, to keep records or to pay any
      tax required by any article of this chapter;
        d. Fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or conduct prejudicial  to  public
      confidence in the state lottery;
        e.  With  respect  to  a  lottery  sales  agent, the number of lottery
      tickets sold  by  the  lottery  sales  agent  is  insufficient  to  meet
      administrative  costs  and  public  convenience  is adequately served by
      other licensees;
        f. A material change, since issuance of the license, with  respect  to
      any  matters required to be considered by the division under subdivision
      d or e of section sixteen hundred five of this article.
        g. Conviction for misuse  of  food  stamps  pursuant  to  section  one
      hundred forty-seven of the social services law.
        h.  A  violation  of  article  thirteen-F  of the public health law as
      provided in this subdivision:
        1. A license shall be suspended  for  a  period  of  six  months  upon
      notification  to the division by the commissioner of health of a lottery
      sales  agent's  accumulation  of  three  or  more  points  pursuant   to
      subdivision  three  of  section  thirteen  hundred ninety-nine-ee of the
      public health law.
        2. A license shall be revoked for one year upon  notification  to  the
      division by the commissioner of health of a lottery sales agent's fourth
      violation  of article thirteen-F of the public health law within a three
      year period.
