(i) censure a person, (ii) suspend a person for a defined period from any
position of employment, management, or control of any licensee, or (iii) bar a
person from any position of employment, management, or control of any licensee,
if the Commission finds that:

   1. The censure, suspension or bar is in the public interest and that the
   person, after July 1, 2003, has committed or caused a violation of this
   chapter or any regulation or order of the Commission; or

   2. The person, after July 1, 2003, was (i) convicted of, or pled guilty or
   nolo contendere to, any crime; (ii) held liable in any civil action by final
   judgment; or (iii) held liable in any administrative proceeding by any public
   agency, if the criminal conviction or plea, or the holding in the civil action
   or administrative proceeding, involved any offense reasonably related to the
   qualifications, functions, or duties of a person employed by, or in a position
   of management or control of, a licensee.

B. Persons suspended or barred under this section are prohibited from
participating in any business activity of a licensee and from engaging in any
business activity on the premises where a licensee is conducting its business.
This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit suspended or barred persons
from having their personal transactions processed by a licensee.
