Article 4 - Special Provisions Relating to Beer
57-A - Change in Duration of Licenses.

ยง 57-a. Change in duration of licenses. The liquor authority is
authorized to change the periods during which the licenses authorized by
sections 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.
