II. The lottery commission, after conducting a hearing, may require a licensee to divest itself of any partner, person, sub-corporation, shareholder, or any other entity of the licensee if the lottery commission determines that any partner, person, sub-corporation, shareholder, or any other entity of the licensee is not suitable to be associated with racing in this state.
