Tax department and liquor commission must work together
The tax department and the liquor commission must cooperate to enforce this law. If a permit is revoked, the tax department tells the liquor commission, and that person's liquor license is automatically forfeited. The tax department can also report people who break the law, and the commission must suspend their license until they comply.
