Article 5 - Special Provisions Relating to Liquor
67 - License Fees, Duration of Licenses; Fee for Part of Year.

§ 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 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.
