AN ACT allowing liquor licensees to select an anniversary for renewal.
Be it Enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court convened:
161:1 Liquor License Renewal. Amend RSA 178:29, VIII to read as follows:
VIII.(a) Licenses shall not be transferred except with the consent of the commission. Each license shall designate the place of business for which it is issued. When transferred, a license shall, unless revoked for cause by the commission, remain valid, pursuant to paragraph VII, until the date on which such license would have expired had it not been transferred. The initial renewal of any such transferred license shall be effective until the last day of the month of the licensee's birthday. When the licensee is not a natural person, the initial renewal of any such transferred license shall be effective until the last day of the month in which such licensee was incorporated or otherwise organized. The fee for the initial renewal of any such transferred license shall be prorated. Subsequent renewals of transferred licenses shall each be effective for one year, unless revoked for cause by the commission.
(b) After one year, a licensee may select the anniversary month in which to renew a license. A licensee may change the anniversary renewal month of a license once by making a written request to the director of enforcement and licensing. A licensee who changes the anniversary renewal month of a license shall not change the anniversary renewal month for a period of 3 years from the selected month. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to be contrary to the provisions of RSA 178:3 or commission rules.
161:2 Effective Date. This act shall take effect January 1, 2019.
Approved: June 04, 2018
Effective Date: January 01, 2019
