1. (1) Any person holding any license, permit, or registration issued pursuant to this Chapter or any employee or agent of such person who violates any provision of this Chapter, or directs, consents to, permits, or acquiesces in such violation, either directly or indirectly shall, by such conduct, subject the license to suspension, revocation or cancellation.

   1. (a) For purposes of administering and enforcing this Chapter, any act committed by an employee, agent, or Representative of a Licensee shall be deemed to be an act of the Licensee.

2. (2) It shall be a violation of this Chapter for any Licensee, permittee, or registrant to permit any person to engage in any activity on the premises for which the license is issued or within the Place of Business which is in violation of the laws or regulations of any federal, state, county or municipal governing authority or regulatory agency.

   1. (a) With respect to any such activity, it shall be rebuttably presumed that the act was done with the knowledge or consent of the Licensee, provided however, that this presumption may be rebutted only by evidence which precludes every reasonable hypothesis that such Licensee did not know of, assisted, or aided in such occurrence, or in the exercise of full diligence could not have discovered or prevented such activity.
