ORDERS:
CONSENT ORDER
(Settlement)
The South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) initiated this matter by issuing a Final Determination that One
Stop of Greenwood, Inc. (One Stop) had violated 23 S.C. Code Ann. Regulation 7-9(B)(Supp. 2001), by "permitting the
purchase of beer by a person under the age of twenty-one" for the third time within a three year period. Prior to a hearing
on this matter, the parties resolved the matter.
The parties have agreed to the following:
- For the violation of 23 S.C. Code Ann. Regulation 7-9B (Supp. 2001), "permitting the purchase of beer by an individual
under the age of twenty-one," on January 9, 2002, One Stop agrees to serve a suspension of its beer and wine permit for
a period of ten days. This suspension will begin on September 16, 2002, and run continuously for a period of ten days.
Further, One Stop agrees to remit to the Department a fine in the amount of $2,500.00, no later than 5:00 p.m. on
August 5, 2002.
- One Stop further agrees to require its employees at this location, 1628 Highway 246, Greenwood, South Carolina, to
attend four quarterly seminars, within the next year, concerning the sale of alcohol. One Stop agrees to contact John
Kirkland of the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division within the next two weeks to schedule these seminars.
- Given the mitigating circumstances in this matter, the Department agrees to the foregoing and accepts these terms in
satisfaction of the third violation.
The parties freely and voluntarily entered into this agreement. Further, the parties agree that this constitutes the full and
final resolution of this violation and such is resolved with prejudice. Failure to comply with the specific terms set forth
herein will result in the imposition of the original suspension as set forth in the Department's Final Determination dated
May 17, 2002.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, and hereby Order its adoption. This court retains
continuing jurisdiction to enforce this Order. As Respondent no longer requires a hearing on this matter, I al so Order this
matter Resolved With Prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
