(A) (1) Every year each licensee shall renew its license and all renewal licenses must be on file with the Administrator no less than 30 days prior to the expiration of the license for the preceding license period or the same shall be canceled, except where the licensee is unable to continue in business at the same premises licensed during the preceding license period as a result of construction, act of God, casualty, death, the acquisition or threatened acquisition of the premises by any federal, state, city, or other governmental agency possessing power of eminent domain, whether such acquisition is voluntary or involuntary, or loss of lease through failure of landlord to renew existing lease; provided, that said licensee shall file a written verified statement no less than 20 days from the expiration date of the license, setting forth such facts, and the Administrator is hereby authorized to extend the time for filing of a renewal of such license for a reasonable length of time within the sound discretion of the Administrator; provided, however, such licensee shall pay a license fee from the expiration date of the former license or licenses.
(2) Said license fee shall not be payable until application is made for the transfer of said license to a new location.
(B) The renewal by the Administrator of the license shall not be construed to be a waiver or acceptance of any violation which occurred prior to such renewal and shall not prevent subsequent proceedings against the licensee.
