ORDERS:
FINAL ORDER AND DECISION
This matter was initiated by a citation issued by the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division against
Respondents on August 18, 1999, for a violation of S.C. Code Ann. § 12-21-2804(C) (Supp. 1999), for
making a payout to an individual under the age of twenty-one. The South Carolina Department of Revenue
issued its Final Department Determination sustaining this violation and its determination to revoke the
Respondent's retail sales tax license and video poker machine licenses. Respondents appeale this matter and
it was transmitted to the Administrative Law Judge Division.
Prior to the hearing, the parties entered into an agreement resolving this matter. That agreement is
incorporated in this Order.
The agreement between the parties is as follows:
1. For the violations on August 18, 1999, Respondents agree to the revocation of the five Class III licenses
on the video poker machines at the location at the time of the violation. Respondents further agree to
surrender these licenses, Nos. 3013891, 3013892, 3013893, 3013894, and 3073895 to the Department no
later than 5:00 p.m. on March 6, 2000.
2. Respondents further agree to remove the video poker machines from this location, Fast Point Food
Stores, Inc., d/b/a Fast Point 53, 5995 Rivers Avenue, North Charleston, South Carolina by March 7, 2000.
Respondents agree not to operate or allow the operation of video poker machines at this location.
3. In consideration of the above, the Department agrees to waive the remaining penalties sought for this
violation.
4. The parties agree that this agreement was entered into freely and voluntarily and the terms herein
constitute the full and final resolution of this violation.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, abd hereby Order its adoption. This
court retains continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order. As Respodents no longer require a hearing in this
matter, I also Order this matter DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
