In the case of a suspension, the finance director shall return the license to the licensee at the expiration of the suspension period.

C. Suspension of License. The finance director shall suspend a license for a period not to exceed thirty (30) calendar days if the finance director determines that:

c. The licensee has knowingly acted as a manager of an adult entertainment facility during a period of time when the licensee’s manager’s license was suspended; or

d. The licensee has knowingly acted as an entertainer at an adult entertainment facility during a period of time when the licensee’s entertainer’s license was suspended; or

g. A cause of suspension in RMC 5.68.140.C occurs and the license has been suspended within the preceding twelve months.

2. In the event the finance director revokes a license, the revocation shall continue for one (1) year, and the licensee shall not be issued an adult business license, manager’s license, or entertainer’s license for one (1) year from the date the revocation becomes effective. If, after revocation, the finance director finds that the basis for the revocation has been corrected or abated, the applicant may be granted a license if at least ninety (90) calendar days have elapsed since the date of revocation became effective.
