in effect6.50.370 - Semiannual fee—When due.
(A) Each semiannual fee is due in advance on April 1st and October 1st in each year except that the applicant for a new alcoholic beverage license who starts business between April 1st and October 1st or between October 1st and April 1st shall have its semiannual fees prorated on a monthly basis. Upon a change of ownership required by a reorganization pursuant to a plan of reorganization approved by a bankruptcy court, the new owner shall receive credit for semiannual license fees required by this section that were paid by the prior owner.
(B) Any semiannual fee which is not received by the Department on or before the due date shall be assessed a late-payment penalty in an amount equal to ten percent of the amount of such semiannual fee. If the semiannual fee and penalty is not received by the Department within fifteen days after the due date, an additional penalty in an amount equal to twenty-five percent of such semiannual fee shall be assessed. If the semiannual fee and all penalties are not received by the Department within sixty days after the due date, the license shall be automatically suspended.
(C) A license that has been suspended for nonpayment of license fees and penalties may be reinstated by the Director to full standing if the licensee pays the delinquent license fees and penalties, plus an additional reinstatement fee in an amount equal to one-half of the semiannual license fee for such business. The reinstatement fee is exclusive of the regular semiannual alcoholic beverage license fee for that license. The fees and penalties required to be paid pursuant to this Subsection (C) shall be paid not later than ten calendar days following the date of suspension of the license or, if the tenth day falls on a weekend or holiday, the next business day. The license shall be deemed automatically revoked if such fees and penalties are not paid in accordance with this Section.
