§ 1607. Suspension and revocation of licenses. The division may
suspend or revoke, after notice and an opportunity for a hearing
pursuant to the state administrative procedure act, any license issued
pursuant to this article. Such license may, however, be temporarily
suspended by the division without prior notice, pending any prosecution,
investigation or hearing. A license may be suspended or revoked by the
division for one or more of the following reasons:

a. Failure to account for lottery tickets received or the proceeds of
the sale of lottery tickets or to file a bond if required by the
division or to comply with instructions of the division concerning the
licensed activity;

b. Conviction of any offense as defined in the penal law, or any
felony under the laws of the United States or under the laws of the
state of New York or any other state or foreign jurisdiction or any
crime relating to gaming activities;

c. Failure to file any return or report, to keep records or to pay any
tax required by any article of this chapter;

d. Fraud, deceit, misrepresentation or conduct prejudicial to public
confidence in the state lottery;

e. With respect to a lottery sales agent, the number of lottery
tickets sold by the lottery sales agent is insufficient to meet
administrative costs and public convenience is adequately served by
other licensees;

f. A material change, since issuance of the license, with respect to
any matters required to be considered by the division under subdivision
d or e of section sixteen hundred five of this article.

g. Conviction for misuse of food stamps pursuant to section one
hundred forty-seven of the social services law.

h. A violation of article thirteen-F of the public health law as
provided in this subdivision:

1. A license shall be suspended for a period of one year upon
notification to the division by the commissioner of health of a lottery
sales agent's accumulation of three or more points pursuant to
subdivision three of section thirteen hundred ninety-nine-ee of the
public health law.

2. A license shall be revoked for one year upon notification to the
division by the commissioner of health of a lottery sales agent's fourth
violation of article thirteen-F of the public health law within a three
year period.
