§ 67. License fees, duration of licenses; fee for part of year.
Effective April first, nineteen hundred eighty-three, licenses issued
pursuant to sections sixty-one, sixty-two, sixty-three, sixty-four,
sixty-four-a, sixty-four-b, sixty-four-c and sixty-four-e of this
article shall be effective for three years at three times that annual
fee, except that, in implementing the purposes of this section, the
liquor authority shall schedule the commencement dates, duration and
expiration dates thereof to provide for an equal cycle of license
renewals issued under each such section through the course of the fiscal
year. Effective December first, nineteen hundred ninety-eight, licenses
issued pursuant to sections sixty-four, sixty-four-a and sixty-four-b of
this article shall be effective for two years at two times that annual
fee, except that, in implementing the purposes of this section, the
liquor authority shall schedule the commencement dates, duration and
expiration dates thereof to provide for an equal cycle of license
renewals issued under each such section through the course of the fiscal
year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, commencing on December first,
nineteen hundred ninety-eight and concluding on July thirty-first, two
thousand two, a licensee issued a license pursuant to section
sixty-four, sixty-four-a or sixty-four-b of this article may elect to
remit the fee for such license in equal annual installments. Such
installments shall be due on dates established by the liquor authority
and the failure of a licensee to have remitted such annual installments
after a due date shall be a violation of this chapter. For licenses
issued for less than the three-year licensing period, the license fee
shall be levied on a pro-rated basis. The entire license fee shall be
due and payable at the time of application. The liquor authority may
make such rules as shall be appropriate to carry out the purpose of this
section.
