Nine Lehigh Valley establishments were cited in August by the state Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement for alleged liquor law violations.<\/p>\n
Licensees will have a chance to defend themselves against the citations before an administrative law judge, who may impose fines between $50 to $1,000 for minor violations, or up to $5,000 for more serious offenses. The judge may also suspend or revoke business licenses or mandate training.<\/p>\n
