Automatic Revocation/Suspension.

A license shall be suspended automatically if the licensee's State liquor license is suspended, and the suspension shall be for a term not less than that imposed by the State.
Effect Of Suspension. No person whose license shall have been suspended by order of the Board shall sell or give away any intoxicating liquor during the time such suspension is in effect.
