(b) The liquor commission shall certify to the department the name of every dealer, together with the dealer's place of business and the period covered by the dealer's license. The department shall issue its permit to such person for the period covered by the person's license upon the payment of a permit fee of $2.50. The permit shall be issued by the department as of the date when the liquor commission issued the license.  (c) Any permit issued under this chapter shall be for the period covered by dealer's license; it shall not be assignable; it shall be conspicuously displayed on the licensed premises of the permittee; it shall expire upon the expiration of the period covered by the permittee's license, or on June 30 next succeeding the date upon which it is issued, whichever is earlier, unless sooner suspended, surrendered, or revoked for good cause by the department; and it shall be renewed annually before July 1, upon fulfillment of all requirements as in the case of an original permit and the payment of a renewal fee of $2.50. Whenever a permit is defaced, destroyed, or lost, or the licensed premises are relocated, the department may issue a duplicate permit to the permittee upon the payment of a fee of 50 cents.  (d) The department may suspend, revoke, or decline to renew any permit issued under this chapter whenever the department finds that the applicant or permittee has failed to comply with this chapter or any rule adopted under this chapter, or for any other good cause. Good cause includes but is not limited to instances where an applicant or permittee has:  (1) Submitted a false or fraudulent application or provided a false statement in an application;  (2) Possessed or displayed a false or fraudulent permit;  (3) Failed to comply with, violated, or been convicted of violating any county, state, or federal law directly pertaining to the sale, importation, acquisition, possession, distribution, transportation, or smuggling of liquor; or  (4) Failed to maintain complete and accurate records when and if required to be kept. Upon suspending or revoking any permit, the department may request that the permittee surrender the permit or any duplicate issued to, or printed by the permittee, and the permittee shall surrender the permit or duplicate promptly to the department as requested.  (e) Whenever the department suspends, revokes, or declines to renew a permit, the department shall notify the applicant or permittee immediately and afford the applicant or permittee a hearing, if desired; provided that a hearing has not already been afforded. The department shall provide no less than thirty days' notice to the applicant or permittee of a hearing afforded under this subsection. After the hearing the department shall:  (1) Rescind its order of suspension;  (2) Continue the suspension;  (3) Revoke the permit;  (4) Rescind its order of revocation;  (5) Decline to renew the permit; or  (6) Renew the permit.
