Section 144-206-10-D - Issuance of licenses1 New licenses: When any applicant is found, based upon an inspection by the Department or by municipal inspection, to not be in compliance with the requirements of Departmental regulations the Department may refuse issuance of the initial license, but shall issue a conditional license for up to 90 days, except when conditions are found which present a serious danger to the health and safety of the public. Failure by the conditional licensee to meet the conditions specified by the Department shall permit the Department to void the license. If conditional licenses are revoked, all fees shall be retained by the Department.2 Within thirty days of submission of an application therefore, and upon payment of the prescribed fee and receipt of required water test results, and subject to the applicant's compliance with these rules, the Department shall issue a renewal license to operate an eating and lodging place or lodging place.3 The issuance of the license does not provide exemption from other state or local laws, ordinances or regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of law.4 Licenses erroneously issued by the Department are void and shall be returned to the Department on demand, in a notice delivered by hand or by certified mail to the licensee. Pursuant to the provisions of Title 22, Chapter 562 of the Maine Revised Statutes, the Department may either file a complaint seeking suspension or revocation of a license it has issued pursuant to these rules or, if conditions are found which may endanger the life, health or safety of persons living in or attending the licensed establishment, the Department may request an emergency suspension of license in the District Court.10- 144 C.M.R. ch. 206, § 10-D
