(a) A license issued pursuant to this chapter shall expire one year from the date it is issued unless the license by its terms provides a different expiration date. A license may be renewed by filing a renewal application not more than 60 days and not less than 40 days prior to the expiration date. The Issuing Officer may deny renewal on the following grounds:
(1) Any of the grounds for denying a new license; or
(2) The licensee committed an illegal act, or allowed any of its agents or employees to commit an illegal act, while engaging in the activity for which the license was issued or used or allowed any agent or employee to use the license contrary to its terms; or
(3) The licensee failed or refused to surrender the license to the Issuing Officer after receiving notice the license was suspended or revoked; or
(4) State Law provides the applicant is not entitled to renew the license. If State Law precludes the Issuing Officer from applying paragraphs (2) or (3) the Issuing Officer may only rely upon grounds not precluded by State Law.
(b) The Issuing Officer shall issue the renewal license or notify the applicant within 30 days after the applicant filed a complete application that the renewal has been denied.
