				in excess of thirty days and the permit holder has not notified the division of
				the closing within thirty days of the last date of operation of the business,
				the division shall issue a citation to the permit holder for failure to
				exercise permit privileges and for being closed more than thirty days without
				the consent of the division.
This rule is only applicable to a permit holder who has
				operated its permit business for at least six months, unless the permit holder
