The administrative penalty that may be imposed by the ABC for violations is the imposition of license conditions (for example, adding or tightening conditions on an alcohol license instead of sending someone to jail).

Quick Scoop: Why this is the answer

  • Jail time is a criminal penalty handled by the courts, not an administrative agency like the ABC.
  • Community service and restitution to victims are also typical criminal or judicial sanctions, not standard ABC administrative tools.
  • ABC agencies usually use non-criminal measures such as:
    • Fines or monetary penalties.
* Suspension or revocation of a license.

* Imposition or modification of **license conditions** (e.g., limiting hours, requiring extra controls, tightening ID-check rules).

In the question format you’re referencing, the option that correctly fits the definition of an administrative penalty the ABC can impose is the imposition of license conditions.
