(A) A retail or bottle club license issued by the Nebraska Liquor Control Commission and outstanding may be automatically renewed by the Commission in the absence of a written request by the Board of Trustees to require the licensee to submit an application for renewal. Any licensed retail premises located in an area which is annexed to the village shall file a formal application for a license, and while the application is pending, the licensee may continue all license privileges until the original license expires or is canceled or revoked. If that license expires within 60 days following the annexation date of the area, the license may be renewed by order of the Commission for not more than one year.
(Neb. RS 53-135)
(B) The Village Clerk shall cause to be published in a legal newspaper in or of general circulation in the village, one time between January 10 and January 30 of each year, individual notice in the form prescribed by law of the right of automatic renewal of each retail liquor and beer license and each bottle club license within the village, except that notice of the right of automatic renewal of Class C licenses shall be published between the dates of July 10 and July 30 of each year. If written protests to the issuance of automatic renewal of a license are filed in the office of the Village Clerk by three or more residents of the village on or before February 10, or August 10 for Class C licenses, the Board of Trustees shall hold a hearing to determine whether continuation of the license should be allowed. Upon the conclusion of any hearing required by this section, the Board of Trustees may request a licensee to submit an application as provided in Neb. RS 53-135.
