§ 57-a. Change in duration of licenses. The liquor authority is
authorized to change the periods during which the licenses authorized by
sections fifty-one, fifty-one-a, fifty-three-a, fifty-four, fifty-five
and fifty-five-a shall be effective and to establish the commencement
dates, duration and expiration dates thereof, provided that no such
license shall be effective for a period in excess of three years. When
any change or changes are made in the duration of any such license, the
license fee shall be equal to the annual license fee specified in this
article multiplied by the number of years for which such license is
issued. The liquor authority may make such rules as shall be appropriate
to carry out the purpose of this section.
