(1)All licenses issued by the department, except special event licenses, temporary
licenses, or licenses listed in subsection
(5)of this section, shall be valid for a
period of no more than a year. The board shall promulgate administrative
regulations establishing the year-round system for renewal of licenses. The system
shall be designed to distribute the workload as uniformly as possible within the
offices of the local administrators and the Department of Alcoholic Beverage
Control.
(a)Except for licenses listed in paragraph
(b)of this subsection, all licenses
issued after January 1, 2017, by a local administrator shall be valid for a
period of no more than a year and shall be renewable upon the date
established by the department for the expiration of state licenses issued for
premises located in that county or city. During the first year following July
15, 2016, if the new date for renewal for the licensee does not occur on the
date established by the department for the expiration of the licensee's state
license, the local administrator shall either:
1. Prorate the cost of the renewed license by proportionally reducing the
cost of the renewed license if the new date for the renewal occurs prior
to the expiration of a previous license; or
2. Provide a prorated provisional local license to cover any period of time
between the expiration of the previous license and the new date for
renewal if the new date for renewal occurs after the expiration of the
licensee's previous license.
(b)Paragraph
(a)of this subsection shall not apply to licenses issued by a
consolidated local government, special event licenses, temporary licenses, or
licenses listed in subsection
(5)of this section.
(3)When any person applies for a new license authorized under KRS Chapters 241 to
244, the person shall be charged, if the license is issued, the full fee for the
respective license if six
(6)months or more remain before the license is due to be
renewed and one-half (1/2) the fee if less than six
(6)months remain before the
license is due to be renewed. No abatement of license fees shall be permitted to any
person who held a license of the same kind for the same premises in the preceding
license period and who was actually doing business under the license during the last
month of the preceding license period.
(4)The renewal by the department of any license shall not be construed to waive or
condone any violation that occurred prior to the renewal and shall not prevent
subsequent proceedings against the licensee.
(5)All alcoholic beverage producers, wholesalers, or distributors may obtain or renew
their licenses for either a one
(1)year term or a two
(2)year term.
(6)The department may deny license renewal if the licensee is a delinquent taxpayer as
defined in KRS 131.1815.
