The Township Committee may issue another license to a person whose license
has been revoked or denied as provided under this chapter if, after a hearing,
it is satisfied, by clear and convincing evidence, that the acts which led
to the revocation or denial will not occur again. Otherwise, no person whose
license has been revoked or denied nor any person acting for him, directly
or indirectly, shall be issued another license.

within 10 days of any decision not to grant a license as applied for or not
to renew a license and, in the case of a suspension or revocation, shall immediately

be sent by certified mail and regular mail addressed to the licensee or his
duly authorized agent.

The notice as required under Subsection A above shall include the name of the licensee, the license number and type of license and premises for which it was issued and shall further set forth and specify the reasons for the failure to grant the license, failure to renew the license or decision to suspend or revoke said license and shall then further provide, by way of notice, that in the case of any suspension or revocation, a hearing, being a public hearing before the Township Committee, shall be held prior to the actual suspension or revocation, which hearing shall be held by the Township Committee within 30 days of the notice of intent to suspend and revoke any license. Any notice as to nonrenewal or nonissuance of any license shall provide that the applicant may request a hearing as to the failure to grant said license or renew said license under the provisions of § 94-51A.
