36-505. Renewal of licenses; application, form, fee; inspection; noncompliance, notice; remedial action; denial, hearing; failure to renew, restoration fee. Except as otherwise provided in this section, any license issued under the provisions of this act shall expire on December 31 of the year in which it is issued, and may be renewed by making application to the secretary on or before the expiration date. Application for renewal of a license shall be made on a form prescribed by the secretary and shall be accompanied by the license fee required for the issuance of an original license. Prior to the renewal of any such license, the secretary shall inspect or cause to be inspected the licensed premises or food vending machines which are to be operated and serviced under authority of a license issued under this act to determine the compliance of such premises with the applicable standards promulgated pursuant to this act.  Lodging establishments shall not be required to be inspected prior to license renewal.  If an inspection of the premises is required and such inspection is not made prior to the expiration date of the license sought to be renewed, such license shall be valid until the inspection has been made and the secretary has granted or denied the application for renewal. No license shall be renewed unless and until the licensed premises for which it is issued is found to be in compliance with the applicable standards promulgated pursuant to this act. A food vending machine dealer license shall be renewed without inspection. If the secretary shall refuse to renew any license, the secretary shall give written notice thereof to the licensee, specifying the changes or alterations necessary in the establishment to effect complete compliance with the applicable standards and stating that, if such compliance is effected within the period of time designated in the notice, the license shall be renewed. If the licensee fails to effect complete compliance with the applicable standards within the time prescribed in such notice, the application for renewal of a license shall be denied, and the secretary shall give written notice thereof to the applicant, stating also that the applicant is entitled to a hearing thereon, if a written request therefor is filed with the secretary within 20 days of the date such notice is sent. Such hearing shall be held in accordance with the provisions of the Kansas administrative procedure act. If, for any reason, a licensee fails to renew a license prior to the expiration date thereof, the licensee may obtain a renewal of such license within 30 days following the expiration date thereof, by complying with the foregoing provisions of this section and paying a restoration fee in the amount of $10.
