Current through July 13, 2024
(a) In accordance with W.S. 12-7-201(d), licensees subject to the Division's revocation or suspension of a
				liquor license may file an appeal with the Board not more than 30 days following
				the date on which the license is to be suspended or revoked as stated in the
				final notice of suspension or revocation. The Board shall docket appeals and
				schedule contested case proceedings as soon as feasible.
(b) The Board shall review the Division's
				suspension or revocation for compliance with statutory and regulatory law, and
				the Board shall either affirm or reverse the Division's action.
(c) When reviewing a departmental order or
				decision immediately suspending a license while an appeal is pending, the Board
				shall examine whether good cause supports the Division's conclusion that the
				licensee should not operate pending the appeal. The Board, upon the licensee's
				written request, shall hold a separate, immediate hearing to address the limited
				question of whether the suspension should go into effect while the appeal is
				pending. In determining whether the Division has demonstrated that the licensee
				should not be permitted to operate during the appeal to the Board, the Board will
				consider whether:
(i) The licensee has
				continuously and intentionally violated Wyoming's laws following clear and
				repeated notice from the Department (Division), and is likely to continue
				disobeying statutory or regulatory requirements pending the appeal;
(ii) The licensee is likely to engage in
				activities or conduct harmful to the public's general welfare;
(iii) The Department (Division) or other
				governmental bodies are unlikely to recover additional financial obligations of
				the licensee to the State or local licensing authority accruing after notice of
				the suspension and during an appeal;
(iv) The licensee's interests in operating,
				pending an appeal, are outweighed by the Division's interests in immediately
				suspending the license.
