| 12 | 12 | an administrative sanction against a permit or license holder when | |
| 13 | 13 | the administrative sanction arises from the same facts or | |
| 14 | 14 | circumstances as a criminal prosecution, so long as the sanction is | |

| 16 | 16 | offense. | |

| 24 | 24 | law is continued in effect for that purpose. | |
