N.Y. Tax Law § 1607: Suspension and revocation of licenses

§ 1607. Suspension and revocation of licenses. 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 one year 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.
