Metro Council has passed an ordinance allowing Louisville ABC to issue emergency suspensions of licenses, in cases where there is a threat to public safety, health or welfare across the county. That included situations involving firearm use and violations that lead to a death.
A suspension hearing for the licensee, in this case the Hot Spot, will take place within three days of the action.
