ORDERS:
CONSENT AGREEMENT
The South Carolina Department of Revenue (Department) initiated this matter by issuing a Final Determination that BK
Stop 1, Incorporated, d/b/a BK Fast Stop (BK) 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 7-9(B)(Supp. 2001), "permitting
the purchase of beer by a person under the age of twenty-one," on February 18, 2002, BK has agreed to serve a suspension
of its beer and wine permit for a period of thirty days. This suspension will begin on July 28, 2002, and run continuously
for a period of thirty days. Further, BK agrees to remit to the Department a fine in the amount of $1,000.00, no later than
5:00 p.m. on July 29, 2002.
- BK further agrees to require its employees to attend four quarterly seminars, within
the next year, concerning the sale of alcohol. BK agrees to contact John Kirkland of the South Carolina Law Enforcement
Division within the next two weeks to schedule these seminars.
3. 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 31, 2002.
I find this agreement to be fair and equitable, approve such agreement, and hereby order its adoption. As Respondent no
longer requires a hearing on this matter, I also order that this matter is resolved with prejudice.
AND IT IS SO ORDERED.
