(A) Should any licensee be prohibited from conducting the licensed business for the full period covered by the license because of any changes that may hereafter be made in the laws of the commonwealth with reference to alcoholic beverages or other cause outside the licensee’s control, then the city shall refund to licensee the proportionate part of the license fee for the period during which the licensee is prevented from carrying on said business, if the licensee provides sufficient proof to the Administrator that such period of inactivity was not the fault of the licensee or the result of a revocation, suspension, or other wrongdoing by licensee, or an agent or employee of the licensee.
(B) In the event that a violation of state law, regulation, or this title results in the suspension or revocation of the license, the city shall not be required to refund any portion of the license fee.
