Authority of supervisor of liquor control. Any license or permit issued under the provisions of this chapter may be suspended or revoked or any license or permit may be denied by the supervisor of liquor control, after due notice and affording an opportunity for a hearing, for any violation of the provisions of this chapter. Within ten days after the denial, suspension or revocation of any license or permit issued under this chapter, or the denial of any application for transfer or change of location of any establishment licensed under this chapter, or for any other cause expressly allowed in this chapter, any person aggrieved thereby may apply in writing to the supervisor of liquor control for a hearing thereon, and the supervisor shall then promptly set a time and date for a hearing thereon.

(b)

Conduct of hearing. All hearing proceedings for any of the purposes set forth in subsection (a) of this section shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable provisions of RSMo ch. 536, and rule 100, Rules of Civil Procedure of the state supreme court. It shall be unlawful for any licensee or permittee to engage in their respective occupations within the city during the period of their suspension or after revocation after the order of the supervisor of liquor control respecting the suspension or revocation shall have become final. The proceedings shall be competently reported in the manner provided for in civil proceedings in the circuit courts of this state. The testimony shall be transcribed whenever required. Subpoenas to the hearings shall be issued by the supervisor of liquor control for any person found within the territorial jurisdiction of the supervisor, at the instance of the city, the licensee or permittee cited, or the person aggrieved. The subpoenas may be served by any authorized representative of the supervisor of liquor control or in any manner provided by law in such cases. The return thereon shall be in the same manner required in civil suits in the circuit courts of this state. It shall be unlawful, unless for justifiable excuse, for any witness to fail to answer to a subpoena after being validly served, and such person shall be subject to arrest and conviction for such offense in the municipal court upon the complaint and warrant issued pursuant thereto. Unless expressly waived by the licensee or permittee upon the record or in writing, no order of suspension or revocation by the supervisor of liquor control made under the provisions of this section shall become effective until ten days after rendition of such order.
