Except for licenses listed in paragraph (b) of this subsection, all licenses
issued after January 1, 2017, by a county or city 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 city or county 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.
When any person applies for a new license authorized under KRS Chapters 241 to
244, he or she 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.
The renewal by the department of any alcoholic beverage 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.
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.
