(b)

The sheriff, with the concurrence of the parish attorney, shall issue a letter of intent to revoke a sexually oriented business license or a sexually oriented business employee card if the sheriff determines that:

A licensee has knowingly allowed possession, use, or sale of controlled substances on the premises;

(3)

A licensee has knowingly allowed prostitution on the premises;

(4)

A licensee knowingly operated the sexually oriented business during a period of time when the license was suspended, or a cardholder was employed by a sexually oriented business or in the sexually oriented activity area of a dual purpose business during a period when the card holder's sexually oriented business employee card was suspended;

(5)

A licensee has knowingly allowed any specified sexual activity to occur in or on the licensed premises.

(6)

The licensee or card holder has failed to maintain any qualification required for initial issuance or renewal of the license.

(c)

The fact that a conviction is being appealed shall have no effect on the revocation of the license.

(d)

Nature of revocation. When, after the notice and hearing procedure described in section 34-11, a sexually oriented business license or a sexually oriented business employee card is revoked, the revocation shall continue for two years and the licensee or card holder shall not be issued a sexually oriented business license or sexually oriented business employee card for two years from the date revocation becomes effective, provided that, if the conditions of section 34-11(i) are met, a provisional license or card will be granted pursuant to that section. No person whose sexually oriented business license or sexually oriented business employee card has been revoked shall operate a sexually oriented business or be employed in a sexually oriented business, unless and until a new sexually oriented business license or sexually oriented business employee card has been issued to such person pursuant to the provisions of this chapter.
