Current through July 10, 2024
(a) Whenever the department obtains
				  information or evidence of an alleged violation of the regulations or of the
				  general statutes on any permit premises, and such alleged violation is of a
				  nature to cause institution of proceedings directed to the suspension or
				  revocation of the permit, the department may, at its discretion, accept a
				  petition from the permittee or backer as an offer in compromise in an amount
				  determined by the department. Acceptance of petitioner's offer by the
				  department shall constitute a waiver of petitioner's right to a hearing before
				  the department and any right of appeal to a court with respect to charges
				  pending before the department. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be
				  construed in any manner as a prejudgment on the part of the department but is
				  instituted for the purpose of benefiting both the permittee and the department
				  in terms of the saving of time, expense and energy.
(b) In matters involving evidence of
				  violation of the following sections of the Liquor Control Act or Regulations of
				  Connecticut State Agencies, the department may accept an offer in compromise in
				  lieu of a hearing in the pre-set amount of fifty dollars:

In such cases permittees may receive from department
					 agents, at the time of inspection, preprinted citation forms identifying the
					 violation and containing offers and waivers of the nature described in
					 subsection (a) above which may be filled out and returned to the department
					 together with a certified check in the amount of fifty dollars. Returns
					 received within fourteen days of issuance will be considered for acceptance by
					 the department. Acceptance of a permittee's return and offer shall constitute a
					 waiver of the permittee's right to notice of hearing before the department, and
					 any right to appeal to a court with respect to the charges. If no return is
					 made, or if the offer is not accepted, such events shall not be construed in
					 any manner to prejudge further proceedings before the agency. Nothing in the
					 foregoing shall be construed in any manner as a prejudgment on the part of the
					 department, but it is instituted for the purpose of benefiting both the
					 permittee and the department in terms of the saving of time, expense and
					 energy.
