§ 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.
