A permittee, licensee, or registered vendor aggrieved by the result of an informal conference decision may request a formal hearing under 15 AAC 160.910. Notwithstanding the filing of a request for formal administrative hearing, a person or entity may not engage in conduct regulated by AS 05.15 or this chapter beyond the effective date of the suspension or revocation unless the suspension or revocation has been administratively or judicially stayed.

(c) Upon suspension or revocation of a permit, license, or registration, or upon agreement requiring a temporary or permanent closure of a gaming location, the department shall post a notice of the action on the premises.
