R.I. Gen. Laws § 44-20-8 — Suspension or revocation of license

The tax administrator may suspend or revoke any license under this chapter for failure
of the licensee to comply with any provision of this chapter or with any provision
of any other law or ordinance relative to the sale or purchase of cigarettes or other
tobacco products. The tax administrator may also suspend or revoke any license for
failure of the licensee to comply with any provision of chapter 19 of title 44 and chapter 13 of title 6, and, for the purpose of determining whether the licensee is complying with any provision
of chapter 13 of title 6, the tax administrator and his or her authorized agents are empowered, in addition
to authority conferred by § 44-20-40, to examine the books, papers, and records of any licensee. The administrator shall
revoke the license of any person who would be ineligible to obtain a new or renew
a license by reason of any of the conditions for licensure provided in § 44-20-4.1. Any person aggrieved by the suspension or revocation may apply to the administrator
for a hearing as provided in § 44-20-47, and may further appeal to the district court as provided in § 44-20-48.
